Country singer Cody Johnson wowed the crowd at the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night with his incredible rendition of the national anthem. The memorable performance came just one day after singer-songwriter Ingrid Andress faced backlash for her underwhelming rendition, which she later admitted to performing while under the influence.

The 37-year-old Johnson took center stage at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and received a warm welcome from the audience. After the disappointing performance the previous day, fans and players were relieved and cheered for Johnson's flawless rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Fans flooded social media with praises for Johnson, describing his performance as "refreshing" and a stark contrast to Andress' rendition. Users on X commented, "Now that's how you sing the national anthem," and "My ears have healed." Johnson's performance received an overwhelmingly positive response online.

Ingrid Andress, on the other hand, faced significant criticism following her performance, with many speculating that she seemed off. Andress later confirmed these suspicions in a statement on social media, admitting, "I'm not gonna bulls--- y'all, I was drunk last night." She expressed her apology to MLB, her fans, and the country, and announced that she would be seeking professional help for her issues.

Johnson's standout performance at the All-Star Game continued a streak of successful appearances. Prior to the game, he had performed at the Windy City Smokeout Festival in Chicago, where he took a moment to condemn the attempted assassination of former President Trump. Johnson expressed his frustrations with the division and hatred in the country, reminding his audience of the importance of voting and respecting differing opinions.

Cody Johnson's impressive national anthem performance not only showcased his incredible vocal talent but also solidified his status as a respected artist. Fans and viewers appreciate his sincere and patriotic tribute to the country. As his career continues to soar, Johnson's powerful voice and socially conscious messages resonate with a wide audience.
