When you're the daughter of Beyonce and Jay Z, recognizable talent simply runs through your veins - and it's just been confirmed that Blue Ivy Carter has made her mark in history as one of the youngest Grammy nominees ever.

Blue Ivy, the eight-year-old daughter of the power-couple has become one of the youngest nominees in Grammy history for her starring role in her mother's music video for Brown Skin Girl.

She will turn all of nine-years-old in January, less than a month before the 63rd Grammy Awards.

The Recording Academy confirmed Blue Ivy’s nomination to Billboard quoting Grammy rules that “in order for a featured artist to be recognized as a nominee, the artist must be credited and recognized as a featured artist; and there must be significant performance and artistic contribution by the featured artist beyond what might be considered merely accompaniment."
