Skip ahead to the 50 second mark to see tiny Bey killing it in a sparkly Dorothy outfit. There are some audio issues at first, but about 30 seconds later, you’ll be able to hear her more clearly. Even at 7, Bey is brimming with confidence and charisma. “She asked me backstage if I’d sign something for her,” the host says after Bey’s performance, “but frankly I better get her to sign something for me now before she starts charging for it.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4144280/young-beyonce-the-wiz/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4144280/young-beyonce-the-wiz/"},"headline":"Watch a 7-Year-Old Beyoncé Perform 'Home' From The Wiz","datePublished":"2015-12-10T16:10:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:35.462Z","description":"Baby Bey was already a star","url":"https://time.com/4144280/young-beyonce-the-wiz/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4144280/young-beyonce-the-wiz/","name":"Watch a 7-Year-Old Beyoncé Perform 'Home' From The Wiz"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"33 Iconic Beyonce Instagrams In 30 Seconds","description":"33 Iconic Beyonce Instagrams In 30 Seconds","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/UjflRACy/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-09-04T18:38:50.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/UjflRACy.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4144280/young-beyonce-the-wiz/","duration":"PT40S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4144280/young-beyonce-the-wiz/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
