North West is giving fans a real look at her life behind the scenes. The 13-year-old just released her first vlog, a 15-minute video featuring everything from dance rehearsals and music video shoots to international travel.
Throughout the vlog, North is seen practicing for her first solo performance at the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash festival in Chicago on Friday, June 12, 2026.
Her hard work culminates in a 15-minute set, where she performs tracks from her debut EP, N0rth4evr, as well as her collaboration “Talking” with Lil Wayne’s son, Lil Novi.
Summer Smash also produced one of the weekend’s viral moments. During his headlining set, Lil Uzi Vert spotted North in the crowd and greeted her with a playful, auto-tuned “Hello Northyyy!” from the stage.
Clips of the interaction quickly spread across social media, with fans calling it wholesome and unexpected. North later meets Uzi backstage, a moment she clearly won’t soon forget.
Beyond Summer Smash, viewers also get a look at what appears to be the filming of North’s upcoming “Ashite” music video.
Fans are also taken behind the scenes at one of her father Kanye West’s concerts. North is shown signing autographs from the audience before later joining her dad onstage.
The vlog also captures a few quieter moments away from work. North spends an evening at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, shares a glimpse of her June 15 birthday celebration, and later visits Hello Kitty World during a trip to Japan.
The response to the vlog has been largely positive. One viewer wrote that North is simply “a teenager who wants to express herself,” while another said her vlogging debut “couldn’t have come at a better time.”
Several fans praised her creativity and artistic vision. One called the choreography “sickkk.” Another said she already has a clear direction as an artist, even at 13.
Others predicted a bright future for the aspiring performer. “I think she’s gonna make it big in the industry, not because she’s a nepo baby but because it’s obvious she actually is hungry for the fame and success,” one commenter wrote.
