Ingrid Andress Explains She Was ‘Drunk’ During Her Disastrous National Anthem Performance And Is Checking Into Rehab

Four-time Grammy nominee Ingrid Andress sang the national anthem during Monday’s Home Run Derby as part of MLB’s All-Star festivites. It couldn’t have gone much worse. Her “trainwreck” performance was an instant contender for one of the worst renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner” of all-time.

On Tuesday, she explained what happened.

“I’m not gonna bullshit y’all, I was drunk last night,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’m checking myself 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. I’ll let y’all know how rehab is. I hear it’s super fun.” She signed the note, “xo, Ingrid.”

Earlier in the day, before her viral performance, Andress sent out an email to her fans to announce a new song, “Colorado 9.” In the message, she made reference to having “to part ways with some people who’ve helped me make a name for myself. It sent me into what country American call ‘depression,’ but I’m not a doctor. It was the lowest point I‘ve even been.” The single is scheduled to come out later this month.
