Country music artist Ingrid Andress says she was intoxicated during her much-criticized performance of the national anthem Monday at the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby and will seek treatment.
On Tuesday, Andress posted a statement on his verified social media account, writing: “I’m not going to bullshit you, I was drunk last night.”
“I am going to a medical facility today to get the help I need,” she wrote. “That wasn’t me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for this interpretation.”
She ended the note by saying that she would “let you know how well the rehab is going, I hear it’s super fun.”
Much like Roseanne Barr’s performance at the San Diego Padres’ game against the Cincinnati Reds in 1990 and Fergie’s performance at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, people have been talking a lot about Andress’s performance.
Here is more information about the singer:
Andress first rose to fame when she competed on the second season of NBC’s a capella singing competition “The Sing-Off” as part of the group known as Pitch Slapped in 2010. The group was eliminated early on, but Andress returned to the show the following season as part of the group Delilah.
This season of the series was won by the group Pentatonix.
Andress released his debut album, “Lady Like,” in 2020. It reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. A year earlier, his single “More Hearts Than Mine” reached the Billboard Hot 100.
She returned to the ranking in 2021, thanks to the single “Wishful Drinking” with Sam Hunt.
Andress was nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist in 2021, though she ultimately lost to rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
“Lady Like” was also nominated for Best Country Album, while her song “More Hearts Than Mine” was nominated for Best Country Song.
Two years later, “Wishful Drinking” earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
His most recent album, “Good Person,” was released in 2022.
Andress shared on social media this week that she was “so excited” to announce her new single “Colorado 9,” which will be released next week.
She also announced two concerts, one in Nashville on July 17 and one in Denver on July 24. Both concerts were canceled Tuesday, Andress’ representatives told CNN.
“Thank you for being there for me even though I live in a cave,” Andress wrote. “You are all the best and I can’t wait to see you at my shows (stay tuned for more show announcements soon).”
