Beyonce Knowles tells fans as she resumes The Mrs Carter Show in Brazil

She’s one of the biggest popstars in the world but Beyonce Knowles says fame would be nothing without her family.
The 32-year-old singer kicked off the Latin American leg of her world tour in Brazil on Sunday and said taking her 19-month-old daughter Blue Ivy on the road with her has made the experience even more special. 
Speaking at a press conference before her show at the Estádio Plácido Aderaldo Castelão) in Fortaleza, she explained; ‘It’s really interesting because I’m touring with my daughter for the first time and my dream has always been to be able to balance my life and my career.

'I think it’s the one thing that women struggle with because it’s so difficult.'
Looking toned in short denim shorts, a brightly printed top and sky high heels, she added, ‘But when I’m able to travel it makes me so proud that she’s able to experience all these different cultures and meet all of these interesting people at such a young age.

Beyonce, who celebrated her 32nd birthday in style aboard a super yacht off the coast of Italy last week with Blue and her husband Jay-Z, also joked she felt as if she was still on vacation because she loves Brazil so much.

‘It’s one of my favourite places in the world,’ she said. ‘I’ve never met so many people with so much passion and I am so excited to be here. It doesn’t feel like I’m working, it feels like a vacation.’
While Beyonce, who later donned a lace one-piece for her show,  claims her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour features more strobe lights than any other concert tour ever, she insists she would be just as happy with a microphone and a single light.

She said, ‘This is the biggest show I’ve ever been a part of . I feel like it’s important to grow and invest in my career and every time I have an opportunity to travel with my show.
I use a lot of technology and lights, in fact I think this show features more strobe lights than any other. But I feel like at the end of the day a show should be just as powerful if you only have a mic and a light because it’s all about the music, the relationship between the artist and the crowd.’
