Blue Ivy Carter, the eldest daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, has to be as close to modern-day royalty as you can get. When she was born, Blue was considered one of the most famous babies in the world.

But as Blue hits her teens, she's begun to come into her own, from performing her iconic dance numbers during Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour to most recently snagging a starring role in Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King.

Now, she's even performing solo (!) on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour.

With so much under her belt at such a young age (including her own Grammy win), sometimes it’s hard to remember the simpler stuff. How old is she? What movies have she been in? Here’s what we know.
