After a highly criticized performance at the MLB Home Run Derby, Ingrid Andress admitted she was drunk and will be checking herself into rehab.
On Monday, July 15, the annual Major League Baseball Home Run Derby took place in Arlington, Texas.
However, before the night commenced whereTeoscar Hernández ended up winning, country singer and songwriter Ingrid Andress sang the National anthem.
As she took the mic, Ingrid confidently sang, “Oh say can you see, by the dawn’s early light…” The crowd, however, wasn’t thrilled by her performance.

Not only did the players and fans laugh as she continued to sing, but netizens took to the internet to roast her questionable performance.
“My ears are bleeding. One of the worst National anthem renditions ever,”tweeted a viewer on X.
“Did they just grab some random person walking by the stadium and ask if they could spare a couple of minutes?”asked another.
After seeing and hearing the feedback to her viral performance, the singer-songwriter took to Instagram to apologize and admit that she plans to check herself into rehab.
“I’m not gonna bullsh*t y’all, I was drunk last night. I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need,” she wrote.
