Star: Beyonce takes Blue Ivy to Target to see how ‘real people’ live & shop
April 18, 2018There always seem to be a lot of “concerns” about Blue Ivy Carter, just as there seems to be a lot of open concern-trolling. Again, the child is only 6 years old! When she’s out in public – which is the only time we see her or hear about her – she’s well-behaved and well-mannered. She is the adored first child of a superstar couple, so of course her air is going to be more rarefied than the average child’s. The recent stories we’ve had about Blue – from Blue telling her parents to stop clapping at the Grammys, to Blue placing some bids at a charity auction her grandmother organized – have cracked me up. I’m not worried about Blue. Blue is going to be fine. But I guess Beyonce might be slightly concerned that Blue might lose touch with the common folk at the ripe old age of 6. One way to counter that might be to cancel Blue’s stylist, the same one she’s had since she was 20 months old? Beyonce’s going a different route though – Bey is allegedly taking Blue on shopping sprees at Target. Hm.
An insider reveals to Star that even Beyonce loves a bargain, and is teaching her precocious little girl Blue Ivy the value of a dollar with shopping sprees at Target.
“Bey thinks it’s very important that Blue learns how real people live,” explains a source, noting that Blue makes a beeline for panda sheet masks and unicorn straws, while Mom opts for ChapStick and cocoa butter lotion. “In fact, Bey tells Blue that when they got to Target, her job is to find a super deal, a discount that’s really worth it!”

“Bey thinks it’s very important that Blue learns how real people live.” Who said that, Gwyneth Paltrow? Gwyneth called up her dear friend Beyonce and told her “darling, you must encourage Blue to spend time amongst the peasantry at least once a year. Take her to Target, it’s like an upscale Walmart.” And then Beyonce looks at Jay-Z and mouths the words, “What’s a Walmart?” As for the actual story… who knows if it’s true. Neither Beyonce or Jay-Z grew up wealthy, so I would actually imagine that they are conscious of the fact that they need to teach their children about money and how “real people” live. Can that be achieved through Target shopping sprees? God knows.
