Country singer Ingrid Andress faced backlash for her drunken rendition of the national anthem at the MLB Home Run Derby, leading her to publicly admit her intoxication and announce that she is seeking help at a rehabilitation facility. The four-time Grammy nominee's performance was criticized as "rocky" and "botched," with headlines branding it as the "New All-Time Worst National Anthem Performance." Despite her recent success on the charts, including collaborations with artists like Sam Hunt, Andress owned up to her mistake on Instagram, apologizing to MLB, fans, and her beloved country. With a background in songwriting and a familial tie to baseball through her father's work with MLB teams, Andress reflects on her upbringing on the road and how it shaped her ability to adapt to new challenges.
