Blue Ivy Carter has shown the world she's that girl, and now the superstar has been nominated for the YoungStars Award at the 2024 BET Awards.

As the eldest daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, the 12-year-old has made a name for herself. She has already won a list of awards ahead of this year's BET nomination, which honors young entertainers who have had an impact in television, film, music or sports.

Other nominees include Akira Akbar, Demi Singleton, Heiress Diana Harris, JaBria McCullum, Jalyn Hall, Leah Jeffries and Van Van.

Jay-Z, with daughter Blue Ivy Carter, accepts the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the Grammys in Los Angeles on Feb. 4, 2024.

Of course, Blue Ivy has racked up a list of accolades. At 9 years old, Blue Ivy became the second youngest person ever to win a Grammy when "Brown Skin Girl" won the best music video award. She has won an NAACP Image Award, a Soul Trail Music Award and an MTV Video Music Award.

Blue Ivy became the youngest person to receive a BET Award after winning the Her Award for "Brown Skin Girl."

Recently, her younger sister Rumi Carter broke her record as the youngest female artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. However, Blue Ivy holds the title as the youngest person to ever appear on a Billboard chart due to her feature on her dad Jay-Z's 2012 song "Glory."

The young superstar appears to be following in her mother's footsteps. The "Ya Ya" singer is also nominated for five awards at the BET Awards, including best movie for "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé," best female r&b/pop artist, best collaboration for "American Has a Problem (Remix)," viewer’s choice award for "Texas Hold 'Em" and the Her Award for "16 Carriages."

And it doesn't appear Blue Ivy is slowing down anytime soon as she will join her mom Beyoncé in Disney's new "Lion King" prequel titled "Mufasa," which is set to hit theaters Dec. 20.

The BET Awards will take place June 30 in Los Angeles.

Congratulations, Blue Ivy!
