In the words of Kanye West [1], I'mma let you finish, but Blue Ivy had the best 2017 of all time. The 5-year-old part-time rapper [2] seized every opportunity to shine this year and managed to steal the spotlight from her famous parents [3] and pretty much every other mere mortal she came in contact with, because what else do you do when you're the heir to the throne? It was also a huge year for the Carters's first-born child, as she became the big sister of twins Sir and Rumi [4]. Ahead, we've rounded up all of the adorable moments that prove Blue Ivy's 2017 was definitely better than yours.
