Country singer Ingrid Andress confirms she is going to rehab after “drunken” performance of the national anthem

American singer Ingrid Andress has told fans that she is checking herself into rehab after admitting to being drunk during her performance of the national anthem at a major sporting event this week.

On Monday evening, Ingrid was a guest at Major League BaseballHome Run Derby, where she opened the event with a rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.

Unfortunately, for reasons no artist could have hoped for, the country singer’s performance went viral, prompting her to issue a statement the next day.

““I’m not going to tell you any bullshit, I was drunk last night,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday night. “I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That’s not how I was last night.”

She continued, “I apologize to MLB, all the fans and this country that I love so much for this portrayal.”

“I’ll tell you all what rehab is like. I heard it’s a lot of fun,” Ingrid joked.

Since the release of her debut album Lady Like in 2020, Ingrid has become a rising star in the country music scene, receiving nominations in the New Artist category at both the Country Music Association Awards and Grammy.

Ingrid has been nominated for four Grammys in total, most recently receiving a nomination for Best Performance by a Country Duo/Group for “Wishful Drinking,” her collaboration with Sam Hunt.

The song reached number one on the US country charts when it was released in 2022.

As a songwriter, Ingrid has worked with artists such as Charli XCX, Bebe Rexha and Fletcher.
