Nashville-based country artist Ingrid Andress performed the national anthem at the MLB homerun derby event on Monday evening in Arlington, Texas.
The performance has gone viral, and many outlets have called it one of the worst renditions of the national anthem. Fans were confused at the performance as Andress missed a few notes and struggled to complete the song.
That was the single worst National Anthem performance of all-time oh my god

On Tuesday, Ingrid addressed her performance on X stating, “I’m not going to bullxxxx y’all, I was drunk last night. I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. I apologize to the MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I’ll let know how rehab is I hear it’s super fun.”
