Singer Ingrid Andress, who has been skewered for her rendition of the national anthem on national television Monday, says she was drunk during the performance and is checking into a rehabilitation facility.

The four-time Grammy nominee sang a rough rendition of America’s notoriously difficult national anthem “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the MLB Home Run Derby on Monday night. News outlets reported that her version was “rocky” and “botched.” The Daily Beast went with a headline of “America Unites Over New All-Time Worst national anthem Performance.”

On Tuesday, Andress laid it out on Instagram: “I was drunk last night. I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. I apologize to the MLB, all the fans and this country I love so much for that rendition.”

The country singer’s label, Warner Music Nashville, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Andress has seen success, with two songs making it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The most recent song to chart was “Wishful Drinking,” a collaboration with five-time Grammy nominee Sam Hunt, from her 2022 album “Good Person.”
