UPDATE, Tuesday, July 16, at 15:25: Ingrid Andres has just announced that she is heading to a rehabilitation center after a failed performance of the national anthem.
«I won’t lie to you, I was drunk last night», - she wrote on all her social platforms.
«Today I am going to the facility to get the help I need. What happened yesterday was not me. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country that I love so much for that performance. I will let you know how rehabilitation is going. I heard it’s a lot of fun», - she concluded with «xo, Ingrid».
People tried to understand what went wrong for the performer to mess up the performance of «The Star-Spangled Banner» at Globe Life Field stadium in Arlington, Texas. Although the singer started with a fairly traditional introduction, it became evident that she would not be able to perform the song at the level befitting her accomplishments, including four Grammy nominations.
Singer and actress Kristen Chenoweth also commented: «You do what you need to do. Proud moment».
If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1−800−662-HELP (4357). The SAMHSA National Helpline is a free, confidential, 24/7, 365-day-a-year treatment referral and information service.
The original story continues below:
After a fairly traditional introduction, things went awry when she began to sing, missing notes along the way and eliciting visible reactions from the players present. At one point during the ESPN broadcast while Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Elek Boma, 27, was performing, it seemed like he was suppressing a smile, looking down at his shoes with an ironic grin on his face, holding his hat over his heart.
Social media quickly discussed the performance, comparing it to Fergie’s unsuccessful live rendition of «The Star-Spangled Banner» at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game. However, Boma’s reaction is reminiscent of how LeBron James seemed to be trying to hold back laughter during Macy Gray’s national anthem at the 2022 NBA All-Star Game. Besides the difficulty of the song itself, time has shown that performing the National Anthem is no easy task, especially when attempting bold stylistic approaches.
Hailing from Michigan and raised in Colorado, Andres has had a successful career in country music, releasing her debut album «Lady Like» in March 2020. Between this and her second album «Good Person» in 2022, Andres achieved two Billboard Hot 100 hits with the songs «More Hearts Than Mine» and «Wishful Drinking» with Sam Hunt, reaching 30 and 47 on the charts respectively.
Throughout her career, Andres has been nominated for four Grammys, including Best New Artist, Best Country Song, and Best Country Album in 2021. Two years later, «Wishful Drinking» was nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
Online commentators familiar with the artist were even shocked by the failed performance, which has now been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people. «I've seen her performances several times, and she’s always been great! I can’t imagine what happened there», - said one user about the four-time Grammy nominee. «Honestly, I feel sorry for her, because, wow».
ESPN initially uploaded the video, but then made it private for some reason. Fortunately, the internet remains the internet, and the video lives on as one of the worst performances of a patriotic song ever performed
