Harry Styles recently partook in an Australian tradition that includes drinking alcohol out of a shoe.

Styles, who kicked off the Australia and New Zealand leg of his Love On Tour on Monday, February 20, took off one of his green Adidas x Gucci Gazelle sneakers, poured some alcohol into it and chugged it in front of a crowd of screaming fans.

“This is one of the most disgusting traditions I’ve ever [heard of],” Styles said, referencing the “shoey,” which was popularized by Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo.

“I feel like a different person,” he joked as he slipped his 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.”

Many celebrities, including Machine Gun Kelly, Gerard Butler, Luke Bryan, Post Malone and Kacey Musgraves, have also participated in the Australian tradition during their tours to the island continent.
