On Tuesday, Andress explained the situation on Instagram: “I was drunk last night. I’m going to get treatment today. That wasn’t me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans and this country I love so much for this interpretation.”
The country singer’s label, Warner Music Nashville, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
Andress has had success, with two songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100. The most recent song to hit the chart was “Wishful Drinking,” a collaboration with five-time Grammy nominee Sam Hunt from his 2022 album, “Good Person.”
The 32-year-old got her start as a songwriter in Nashville, notably with Charli XCX’s hit “Boys” (2017) and Bebe Rexha’s “Girl in the Mirror” (2019).
Andress has a connection to baseball. His father, Brad Andress, was a strength and conditioning coach who worked with the Detroit Tigers from 1990 to 1999, as well as the Colorado Rockies from 2000 to 2008 and the New York Mets in 2011, according to Baseball Reference.
She learned about life on the road from her father while he was with the Rockies, telling an Illinois radio station in 2020: “It taught me early on that I’m okay wherever I go because I’m always going to be able to figure out what I need to do and how to adapt. It really allows you to get out of your comfort zone and take on things that you wouldn’t normally do.”
