Grammy award winning singer, Harry Styles drank alcohol from his shoe while performing during a concert in Australia.
A week ago, Styles was taking shots on stage at the 2023 Brit Awards, where he celebrated a clean sweep across all four categories he was nominated in.
‘I might have a drink, but I leave for tour in like four days, so I probably won’t go crazy,’ he said backstage at the ceremony, having no idea what Australia had planned for his arrival.
Yesterday, during the Perth, Australia, stop on his never-ending Love on Tour, the singer eventually partake in a years-long Australian tradition that consists of drinking alcohol out of a shoe.
‘Does anybody have a drink that they wouldn’t mind lending?’ Styles asked the audience, already wondering how he can water the gross activity down: ‘Can we do a shoey with water, or is that against the rules? No?’
Soon enough, Styles had some alcohol mingling with the sweat that probably pooled in his shoes during his high-energy stomps – ‘Satellite.’
After gulping, the singer added: ‘This is one of the most disgusting traditions I’ve ever witnessed.’
Videos captured by fans show the One Direction alumni, 29, filling up his shoe with an alcoholic beverage, before drinking the liquid in front of a cheering crowd.
‘I feel like a different person,’ he joked as he slipped his $780 Adidas x Gucci shoe back on his foot.
‘I feel ashamed of myself. It feels so personal. Such an intimate moment to be shared with so many people,’ he went on.
‘I’ll be discussing this with my therapist at length. At length.’
‘Shoey’ – The act of drinking out of a shoe has become an Australian tradition. It was popularized by Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo.
