[Global Network Report] According to the British "Guardian" report, at the Brit Awards ceremony on March 3, local time, Australian female singer Kylie Minogue joined host Roman Kemp at his request "Drinking with shoes." According to the report, "shoey", that is, drinking with shoes, was called "Australia's most vulgar drinking tradition" by the media, and the "Guardian" called it a "diplomatic incident."

According to reports, at the awards ceremony, Kemp, who was sitting next to Kelly, asked her, "There is a tradition in Australia called 'shoey'. Can you do it with me? Can you give it to me?" Can you take off your shoes?" Kelly looked reluctant, but she did as Kemp asked. Kemp then poured wine into the high-heeled shoes that Kelly had taken off and drank with Kelly "toasts."
"The Guardian" stated that this was a diplomatic incident and Kemp behaved arrogantly. The article reads that Australians may ask artists such as Harry Styles to do this when they come to Australia, but you can't pressure Kylie to do "shoey", especially if you are British.
reported that on the morning of the 4th, Australian Prime Minister Albanese responded to this matter. "For some reason 'shoey' has become an international symbol of Australia," he told ABC's Sydney radio show, according to the interview. Kelly was speaking at the BRIT Awards Being asked to 'shoey'. We're concerned about that. What do you think about 'shoey'? Are you for or against it?" Albanese responded, "I think Kylie has the right to do whatever she wants."
The host then said, "But I don't think she wanted to do this, she was forced by the host. You are going to attend the ASEAN summit soon. Could you please not 'shoey' with the ASEAN leaders?" In response, Al "I can assure you that there will be no 'shoey' leaders from Southeast Asian countries at the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne over the next three days," Banis said.
Albanese added, "However, understanding My people will definitely be amused by this question, and the idea that I can 'shoey'. I am a very neat and clean person, and I would never do such a thing. I also think it is a bit strange."
After hearing what Albanese said, the host said, "You are like 99% of the listeners of ABC Radio Sydney..." However, Albanese interrupted the host and added, "Please note, I am not judging this. ."
"The Guardian" stated that the origin of the Australian tradition of "shoey" is not clear and there is no conclusion. It almost sounds like a medieval ritual. The article also states that like most Australian traditions, the "shoey" most likely does not actually originate in Australia. For example, the article stated that Germany’s boot-shaped glass beer mugs have a long history and tradition, which originated from the bullying behavior in the German army of requiring drinking from boots.
