In a recent turn of events, country singer Ingrid Andress has made headlines for her off-key performance of the national anthem before Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby. The 32-year-old artist took to social media to address the criticism, revealing that she was drunk during the performance and announcing her decision to enter rehab.

Andress candidly admitted in a statement posted on social media that she was under the influence during the rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. She expressed her intention to seek help by checking herself into a facility to address her issues.

Apologizing to MLB, fans, and the country, Andress acknowledged that the performance was not a true reflection of herself. The singer’s announcement sparked speculation on social media about potential underlying issues beyond the musical mishap.

Despite her recent public misstep, Andress had earlier shared details about her upcoming single, Colorado 9, with her email subscribers. In the email, she opened up about her struggles with depression after distancing herself from individuals who played a role in her career’s early stages. Finding solace in Colorado, Andress has been navigating personal challenges while maintaining her musical career.

With two studio albums, Lady Like and Good Person, along with successful singles like More Hearts Than Mine and Wishful Drinking, Andress has established herself as a prominent figure in the music industry. Her songwriting credits include collaborations with artists such as Charli XCX and Bebe Rexha, showcasing her versatility and talent.

Throughout her career, Andress has garnered critical acclaim, earning multiple Grammy nominations, including a nod for Best New Artist in 2021. Despite the recent setback, fans and industry peers continue to support Andress as she embarks on a journey towards recovery and personal growth.
