Beyoncé is extremely proud of Blue Ivy.

On Monday night, the mother of three took to Instagram to congratulate her eldest daughter on making her acting debut in the new Mufasa: The Lion King.

“My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara,” Bey wrote. “Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”

The 12-year-old voices Kiara in the new film, alongside her mother, who reprises her role as Nala, Kiara’s mother, from the 2019 Lion King remake, and both Bey and Jay-Z were on hand at Monday's premiere to support their daughter.

The two also appeared on Good Morning America, where they spoke about Blue's work ion the film.

Beyoncé has consistently touted Blue Ivy’s abilities. In an interview for GQ in September, the 43-year-old called Blue an “artist.”

"She has great taste in music and fashion. She is a fantastic editor, painter, and actress. She has been creating characters since she was three,” Bey said.

“She’s a natural, but I did not want Blue onstage,” Beyoncé said of her daughter joining her on the Renaissance World Tour. “Blue wanted it for herself. She took it seriously and she earned it. And most importantly, she had fun! We all watched her grow more and more every night before our eyes."
