Country star Ingrid Andress is taking responsibility for her now-infamous rendition of the National Anthem at the MLB Home Run Derby. The performance, widely ridiculed online, prompted Andress to come clean about battling a problem with alcohol.

In a social media statement, Andress admitted, “I’m not gonna bulls***t y’all, I was drunk last night.” She went on to announce she’s checking herself into a treatment facility “to get the help I need.”

The news comes after widespread criticism of Andress’s performance, with many calling it “cringe-worthy.” While unfortunate timing, it’s not the first time the National Anthem has been mangled at a sporting event. Comparisons were drawn to Fergie’s much-discussed performance in 2018.

Andress expressed remorse for her actions, stating, “That was not me last night.” She apologized to fans and the nation for the performance.

Details surrounding the specific treatment facility and the duration of her stay remain undisclosed. However, Andress’s statement suggests a commitment to recovery.

Despite this setback, Andress boasts a promising career. A four-time Grammy nominee, she’s garnered recognition within the country music scene. This incident seems to be a bump in the road for the talented singer.
