After bagging the Grammy Awards, Harry Styles performed his first concert on Monday in Perth, Australia, which broke the internet. No, not because of his outstanding gig but what took place on the stage, which kind of grossed out the audience online. Following his good friend Daniel Ricciardo’s [F1 driver] footsteps, Harry drank out of the shoe he was wearing. As revolting as it sounds, it actually happened, and the entire world is watching it, thanks to the internet.
For the unversed, this drinking from the shoe has a legit term and is known as ‘shoey’. And it goes something like this, to do it, one pours a drink; usually, it is beer into one’s own shoe or someone else’s and then drinks it from there. Bottoms up! Well, honestly, sometimes guys can be a little gross, and Harry did it on stage.
As per reported by Page Six, referring to the ‘shoey’ Harry Styles said, “This is one of the most disgusting traditions I’ve ever [heard of]”. The report further states how Harry reacted after drinking from the shoe he was wearing, “I feel like a different person.” He continued, “I feel ashamed of myself. It feels so personal. Such an intimate moment to be shared with so many people. I’ll be discussing this with my therapist at length. At length.”
