Singer Ingrid Andress has made headlines after her rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the MLB Home Run Derby received heavy criticism. Andress, a four-time Grammy nominee, admitted that she was intoxicated during the performance and has since decided to seek help by checking into a rehabilitation facility.

During Monday night's Home Run Derby, Andress delivered what many described as a rough and botched version of America's notoriously difficult national anthem. News outlets swiftly picked up on the controversy, with The Daily Beast even dubbing it the "New All-Time Worst National Anthem Performance," as fans expressed their disappointment.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Andress made a public confession, stating, "I was drunk last night. I'm checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition."

Despite this unfortunate incident, Andress has seen success in her music career, with two of her songs making it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart. One of her most recent charting songs, "Wishful Drinking," was a collaboration with five-time Grammy nominee Sam Hunt. The track featured on her 2022 album, "Good Person."

Interestingly, Andress has a personal connection to the world of baseball. Her father, Brad Andress, served as a strength and conditioning coach for several professional baseball teams, including the Detroit Tigers from 1990 to 1999, the Colorado Rockies from 2000 to 2008, and the New York Mets in 2011, according to Baseball Reference.

In an interview with an Illinois radio station in 2020, Andress spoke about the influence her father had on her life, particularly during his time with the Rockies. She shared how this experience taught her to adapt and be comfortable in unfamiliar situations, saying, "It taught me early on that I'm okay wherever I go because I'll always be able to figure out like what to do and how to adapt. It really gets you out of your comfort zone and makes you okay with things that you wouldn't normally do."

As Andress takes the necessary steps to address her personal struggles, fans and supporters hope that she will find the help and guidance she needs to overcome her challenges.
