As everyone knows by now, Ingrid Andress’ National Anthem performance last night at the MLB Home Run Derby last night did not go well. In a performance that can only be described as the worst since Fergie’s disaster at the 2018 NBA All Star Game, the “More Hearts Than Mine” singer has been at the forefront of the internet over the past 24 hours.
Today, she addressed the performance on Instagram, noting that she was drunk during and that she is currently checking herself into rehab.
In the post, Andress said, “I’m not gonna bullsh*t y’all, 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. I’ll let y’all know how rehab is I hear it’s super fun. xo, Ingrid”
