ARLINGTON, TEXAS: Ingrid Andress has opened up after being severely criticized over performing National Anthem at 2024 Home Run Derby.

The ‘Treated Me Good’ crooner came under fire for her off-key singing on social media and has admitted she indeed was at fault.

“I’m not gonna bulls*it y’all, I was drunk last night. I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need," she began in her social media post. 

“That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I’ll let y’all know how rehab is. I hear it’s super fun,” she added, before signing off “xo, Ingrid.”

Ingrid Andress announced her new single 'Colorado 9'

The ‘Wishful Drinking’ singer was at Texas' Globe Life Field on Monday, July 15, and baseball fans were furious after her performance. 



 

It was also the same day when she announced her latest single ‘Colorado 9.' "Greetings to everyone that has a pulse. I truly love you all so much. I’ve been absent for a minute, but I’m so stoked to announce that my new single 'Colorado 9' comes out on July 24th, pre-save it now," she wrote on Instagram.

Many netizens compared her performance to Fergie’s disastrous live version of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game and Roseanne Barr’s infamous rendition of the song at a Padres game in 1990.
