Ingrid Andress canceled a pair of upcoming shows after revealing she was drunk while performing the national anthem at the Home Run Derby on Monday.
After dropping the ball with her off-key rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner on national television, the country singer took to Instagram and admitted she was intoxicated during the performance.
In her statement, Andress also wrote that she is entering rehab.
Days later, her concert at Row One in Nashville set for Wednesday and another performance at the Globe Hall Theater in Denver – scheduled for July 24 – have been canceled.
The ticket link for the Nashville show opens a message that reads: ‘Tickets are currently not available online. This event has been cancelled by the organizer.’
Ingrid Andress canceled a pair of shows after her national anthem disaster on Monday night
‘I’m not gonna bulls**t y’all, I was drunk last night,’ she wrote on social media after her wildly off-key performance Monday night became national news.
‘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,’ she added, before signing off, ‘xo, Ingrid.’
Fellow musicians, including Julia Michaels jumped in the comments section, writing, ‘Love you girl. I’m sorry you’re going through this And I’m sorry the world can be so cruel. Here for you xx.’
Carly Pearce also chimed in, ‘I’m sending you love, Ingrid. Being this open takes a lot. You’ve got this. Hang in there.’

Andress – a four-time Grammy nominated artist – drew comparisons with Fergie after going viral for all the wrong reasons, as some said that she sang far worse than the former lead singer of the Black-Eyed Peas at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game.
‘Ingrid Andress giving Fergie a run for worst national anthem ever performed,’ one person wrote on X in the wake of the performance.
‘My ears are bleeding. One of the worst national anthem renditions ever,’ another person shared.
A third chimed in, ‘That Ingrid Andress national anthem might have been the worst thing to happen in America in the last 48 hours #brutal.’

Astonishingly, the All-Star crowd politely offered Andress a round of applause, although a few intermittent boos could be heard during the ESPN broadcast before spectators watched the Dodgers’ Teoscar Hernandez beat the field for his first Home Run Derby title.
The 32-year-old singer previously cracked into the Billboard Hot 100 for her 2019 single, ‘More Hears Than Mine,’ which peaked at 30.
She earned a Grammy nomination in 2021 for Best Country Song but lost out to The Highwomen.
Andress’ latest hit, ‘Wishful Thinking,’ featuring Sam Hunt was nominated for a Grammy last year.
