preview for Blue Ivy tells Beyonce to stop clapping

You know when you're watching a really interesting programme on television and your parents waltz into the living room chatting nonsense and ruin the moment completely?

Well, rest assured you're not the only one as Blue Ivy just had to keep her parents in check at the 2018 Grammys Awards during an incredibly powerful speech.

Sat in the middle of her parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, during the evening's festivities, footage from the ceremony caught the six-year-old signalling to the pair to calm it down as they applauded singer Camlla Cabello.

Cabello took to the stage to deliver a moving speech referencing immigrants and dreamers.

As the couple — who welcomed twins Sir Carter and Rumi last summer — clapped, Blue was seen raising her hand and gesturing towards her parents to (pretty much) zip it and stop embarrassing her.

The gesture has already been turned into several memes and giphs around the world.

Beyoncé, watch out, there's a new Queen B in town.
