Bottoms up,Lizzo!
While performing in Sydney on Sunday, Lizzo gained some first-hand knowledge of one of Australia’s stranger traditions:the shoey. Popularized in the early 20th century, participants take a swig from their shoe before returning it to their foot.
In a fan-recordedTikTok video, the “Juice” singer initially seems confused when fans begin prompting her to take a shoey.
“Take a drink from my shoe? Is that what you’re saying?” she asks the crowd.
Lizzo, 35, proceeded to drop a bottle of tequila into her own boot before yelling out, “A reminder that this is f–ked up.”

“I got a bottle of tequila I’ve been saving for you,” Lizzo proclaimed, quoting her song “Good As Hell,” before chugging from the bottle in her boot. Puckering her lips and screaming victoriously, Lizzo conquered the shoey.
“F— Australia,” she screamed out. “How are you guys still walking if that’s how you take shots? I am scared that we’re not going to get through the rest of the show if I don’t start singing and singing soon.”
Lizzo isn’t the first singer to conquer the shoey. Back in February,Harry Stylesjoined in the Australian tradition when kicking off the Australian leg of hisLove on Tourin Perth.
Drinking out of his green Adidas sneaker, Styles remarked, “This is one of the most disgusting traditions I’ve ever witnessed.”
