Ingrid Andress Admits She Was “Drunk” During Botched National Anthem Performance: “I’m Checking Myself Into A Facility Today”

Ingrid Andress is checking into rehab following her disastrous rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” during Monday night’s (July 15) Home Run Derby.

The singer, who broke into the scene with her 2019 hit “More Hearts Than Mine,” revealed on X (formerly known as Twitter) that she was “drunk” during her performance.

“I’m not gonna bullshit y’all, I was drunk last night,” she wrote on the social media platform today. “I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night.”

She continued, “I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I’ll let y’all know how rehab is. I hear it’s super fun.”

While Andress is a four-time Grammy nominee, she was noticeably not herself at the MLB game. Aside from singing off-key, she also let out several high-pitched moans while making her attempt at the national anthem.

The artist was steamrolled on social media for her performance, with users calling it “painful,”  “embarrassing and disrespectful.” Many also compared her rendition to Fergie ‘s 2018 flubbed (and highly-memed) version of the national anthem at the NBA All-Star Game.
