HR Derby anthem singer Andress entering rehab

After a widely panned performance of the U.S. national anthem at the MLB Home Run Derby, country singer Ingrid Andress apologized Tuesday and said she was drunk.

"I'm checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need," she posted on social media. "That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition."

Andress, 32, is the daughter of former major league strength and conditioning coach Brad Andress, who worked for the Detroit Tigers, Colorado Rockies and New York Mets.

Ingrid Andress has been nominated for four Grammys, including Best New Artist in 2021.

On Monday night, Andress belted an a cappella version of "The Star-Spangled Banner," an incredibly challenging song to sing. Clips of her less-than-popular rendition at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, have since made the rounds on social media.

Andress began her career as a Nashville songwriter before signing a deal for her own music and releasing her debut album in 2020. She released a sophomore album in 2022 and on social media has been promoting a new single that was scheduled to be released next week.

This isn't the first time a performance of the national anthem has been panned. In the pantheon of controversial renditions of the national anthem at sporting events, Roseanne Barr's rendition at a 1990 San Diego Padres game and Fergie's at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game resulted in similarly negative reactions.

Country singer and Texas native Cody Johnson is scheduled to perform the national anthem before Tuesday night's All-Star Game.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
