Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got quite a story from the 2024 Home Run Derby that’s been making waves across the internet. It involves none other than the talented, four-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ingrid Andress.
Known for hits like “More Hearts Than Mine” and her duet with Sam Hunt, “Wishful Drinking,” Andress recently found herself in the spotlight for reasons she probably didn’t anticipate.
During the Home Run Derby at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Andress performed “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Unfortunately, her rendition didn’t go as planned and has since gone viral online. The next day, Andress took to Instagram to address the situation head-on.
In her candid post, she wrote, “I’m not gonna b——- y’all, I was drunk last night.” She continued, “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. xo, Ingrid.”
This heartfelt apology shows a lot of courage and honesty on Andress’ part. It’s not easy to admit mistakes, especially in the public eye. Her openness about needing help and her decision to seek treatment is a powerful message, resonating with many who may be facing similar struggles.
Ingrid Andress isn’t the first country star to speak openly about struggles with substance abuse. The likes of Keith Urban have also reflected on past substance issues, while Luke Combs’ new single touches on themes of sobriety and addiction.
These stories and songs highlight a significant movement within the country music community towards addressing and overcoming these challenges.
As for Andress, her next performances are slated for August 3rd at the Basilica Block Party in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and October 4th at Country Calling in Ocean City, Maryland. Fans will surely be looking forward to seeing her back on stage, hopefully in a much better place.
In the meantime, we wish Ingrid Andress all the best in her journey to recovery. It’s a tough road, but with the support of her fans and loved ones, she can overcome this bump in the road. Remember, folks, it’s never too late to seek help and make a positive change in your life.
