It begs the question.. How.. How did such a talented artist such as Ingrid Andress even get to the mound to perform her know infamous version of our nation's sacred anthem, just wasted?! So wasted in fact, the Grammy nominated singer says she is checking herself into rehab to get help for her drinking! In a statement to fans, Ingrid said, “I’m not gonna bulls*** y’all, I was drunk last night, and I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition. I’ll let y’all know how rehab is I hear it’s super fun.” So while we wait as SNL will surly be preparing their next skit, we pray she gets the help she needs and will get back to the mound once again someday to show how incredibly talented she truly is!
As a blessing for fans still reeling from that performance, with even videos of players laughing going around, a day or two later, Cody Johnson performs the National Anthem ahead of the 2024 MLB All-star game with out a hitch! And the world sighs a breath of relief! Here are both performances in case you missed either!
