Post Malone's wild 'shoey' streak: US rapper performs the stomach-churning 'Aussie tradition' an insane number of times at Brisbane show READ MORE: Post Malone shows off his slender figure after losing nearly 30kg By Savanna Young For Daily Mail Australia Published: 05:20, 24 November 2023 | Updated: 05:20, 24 November 2023 e-mail 20 shares View comments Post Malone performed not just one, but several 'shoeys' at the first stop on his Australia 2023 tour. The US singer, 28, kicked off his sets Down Under in Brisbane on Thursday night, and what better way to be welcomed into the country with the classic, yet disgusting, Aussie tradition? Post reportedly performed the shoe-drinking act at least seven times during his concert. He told the crowd he was attempting a record and repeatedly drank beer from his shoe in between songs. The popstar even brought a few fans up onstage on separate occasions to do the Aussie tradition from several different kinds of footwear — even a boot brace — in front of a packed crowd. The shoey is one of Australia's iconic traditions that doubles up as both a hazing punishment or celebratory ritual. It was made increasingly popular by famed sportsmen like Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo and UFC fighter Tai Tuivasa. It is the practice of pouring alcohol into a sweaty shoe then sculling it. In the past, the tradition has come under attack as critics - including prominent Australian musicians - call for it to be banned.

'My shoe? My shoe is disgusting. I can't drink out of my f**king shoe, what's wrong with ya'll?' Lizzo told the crowd at her Sydney show in July. But being a good sport, she took a shot of Tequila from inside her shoe. Meanwhile, back in February, singer Harry took his fans by surprise when he performed a shoey at his Perth show.

Even a boot brace 'This one of the most disgusting traditions I've ever witnessed,' Harry said, before necking a drink from his $1,170 Adidas x Gucci shoe. 'I feel like a different person. I feel ashamed of myself,' he said post-shoey. '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.' It is commonplace for fans at concerts to chant 'shoo-ey! shoo-ey!' in the hope the performer will agree to take part in the tradition.
