Hilary Duff<\/a> surprised the crowd last night during her second sold-out<\/a> Melbourne show and completed a shoey.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 39-year-old is currently on the Australian<\/a> leg of the Lucky Me tour and performed at Rod Laver Arena.<\/p>\n

In Australia, a “shoey” is slang for pouring beer into a shoe that you’re wearing and drinking it.<\/p>\n

But the former Disney star drank a Victoria Bitter beer from a glass slipper instead, a nod to her 2004 movie A Cinderella Story.<\/p>\n

“This is so cute, I would drink a cocktail out of this,” Hilary said while holding the shoe. “This is a classy shoey.”<\/p>\n

The ‘Come Clean’ singer poured the beer into the glass ornament and slugged it back while declaring “that is my kind of shoey”.<\/p>\n

However, fans had mixed reactions about the act given that it was poured from a fake shoe.<\/p>\n

Ange,<\/a> who’s been a fan since Lizzie McGuire first aired, was at the show and told Yahoo Lifestyle the shoey was “flawless”.<\/p>\n

“The Cinderella slipper was the perfect touch,” the 35-year-old said.<\/p>\n

“To the haters saying it’s not a real shoey, grow up! Let’s not gatekeep a shoey.”<\/p>\n

“Cinderella shoey! Done with style,” another wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n

“The only acceptable way to,” a third added.<\/p>\n

Others said the shoey “didn’t count” given the shoe wasn’t real and she didn’t wear it first.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first Aussie tradition she’s tried so far.<\/p>\n

During her Brisbane show, Hilary did a Tim Tam Slam, which is where you drink tea or hot chocolate through a Tim Tim biscuit.<\/p>\n

And on Monday in Melbourne, she tried Vegemite toast for the first time.<\/p>\n

Hilary Duff returns to Australia for the Lucky Me tour<\/p>\n

Hilary has already completed several shows for the Aussie leg of her Lucky Me tour in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Her final show is on October 29 in Perth.<\/p>\n

Last night’s show also marked 22 years to the day when Hilary performed in Australia for the very first time at the same venue.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the tour sold out in minutes as tens of thousands of Aussies clambered over each other to get a dose of nostalgia.<\/p>\n

While many will know Hilary from her Disney days and her array of 2000s movies, she also had a popular music career.<\/p>\n

She released four albums that decade, a comeback in 2015, and a second comeback 11 years later, Luck… or Something, which has prompted her global tour.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time in 18 years that Hilary has performed here in Australia, so it’s no surprise that the tour has been so popular.<\/p>\n
