US country music artist Ingrid Andress has revealed that she was under the influence during her performance of the national anthem at the 2024 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby. In a statement shared on her verified social media account on Tuesday, Andress admitted to being drunk and announced her decision to seek treatment.
She began by stating, "I'm not going to hide the truth, I was drunk last night." Andress then went on to explain that she is checking herself into a facility to get the help she needs. She apologized to MLB, the fans, and the country for her performance and acknowledged that it was not representative of her true self.
Andress ended her note with a touch of humor, saying that she will keep everyone updated on her rehab journey and that she's heard it's "super fun." Her performance has drawn comparisons to other infamous renditions by Roseanne Barr and Fergie, and has sparked a lot of conversation.
But before her rise to fame as a country singer, Andress had a brush with reality TV when she participated in the second season of the NBC a capella singing competition, The Sing-Off, in 2010. Though her group, Pitch Slapped, was eliminated early on, Andress returned the following season as part of the group Delilah.
Since then, Andress has become a successful country artist, debuting her first album, "Lady Like," in 2020. The album topped Billboard's Emerging Artists chart and her single, "More Hearts Than Mine," reached the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019. She also received Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Country Album in 2021.
Her latest album, "Good Person," was released in 2022 and she announced a new single, "Colorado 9," and upcoming shows in Nashville and Denver. However, both shows have been cancelled and Andress' representatives told CNN that she is grateful for the support of her fans, despite being out of the loop due to her personal struggles.
Andress' honesty about her struggles and her decision to seek treatment is commendable, and we wish her all the best on her journey to recovery. Let's continue to support and uplift her as she navigates this difficult time in her life.
