Ingrid Andress's performance of the national anthem at the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby did not quite hit the mark, drawing comparisons to Fergie's infamous rendition in 2018. Despite remembering all the words, Andress's performance left some, including Philadelphia Phillies star Alec Bohm, struggling to keep a straight face. The country singer, known for hits like "More Hearts Than Mine" and "Lady Like," has earned four Grammy nominations and has toured with big names in the industry. However, the attention and criticism of her performance at Globe Life Field indicate she may have some work to do to improve her national anthem renditions. Cody Johnson, a Texas native, is slated to perform the anthem at the All-Star Game, setting a high bar for comparison.
