Harry Styles recently made headlines after a video from his concert in Perth, Australia went viral. It all happened on Monday (February 20) when the singer did something bizarre by engaging in an Aussie custom on stage. He took off one of his green Adidas sneakers, poured some drink (presumably beer) and chugged it from the shoe.

Although the singer drank from his show, he later called the tradition 'disgusting'. Styles was quoted saying, "This is one of the most disgusting traditions I've ever heard of."

As different as it sounds, this practice of drinking from the shoe is known as 'shoey' which was popularized by Formula 1 racer Daniel Ricciardo. To perform so, one pours a beverage, typically beer, either into their own or another person's shoe and then consume it.
