Country artist Ingrid Andress confessed on social media that she was drunk while she was singing the national anthem Monday night at MLB’s Home Run Derby and says she will be seeking help.
“I’m not gonna b……. y’all, I was drunk last night. I’m checking into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition,” she posted on her social media accounts.
Andress’ performance quickly went viral on social media, drawing widespread criticism, with some calling it “one of the worst national anthem renditions ever.”
Before the performance, Andress had announced the coming release of her new single, “Colorado 9,” along with two shows. The first is scheduled for Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee, and the other next week in Denver. It was unclear whether she would perform as planned.
Andress released her debut album, “Lady Like,” in 2020 and has been nominated for four Grammys, most recently last year for her performance of “Wishful Drinking” with Sam Hunt.
