The day after,Andress addressed the performance herself.
Who is Ingrid Andress?
Ingrid Andress is a country singer-songwriter.
Her breakthrough single was 2019s More Hearts Than Mine; it hitBillboards The Hot 100 and peaked at No.
In 2021, she collaborated with Sam Hunt on Wishful Drinking, which also hit The Hot 100.
In 2023, Wishful Drinking got the nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
How bad a national anthem are we talking?
Andress admitted that she was drunk and would be checking into rehab.
That was not me last night, she wrote on social media.
I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition.
Ill let yall know how rehab is I hear its super fun.
I mean, notthatbad.
Roseanne Barr definitely got more flak for her1990 rendition.
And Fergie made bigger swings at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game.
Also, that song is too hard!
The national anthem is an annoyingly difficult song, for its ubiquity.
The range you need for it is psycho, and when sung a cappella, its that much harder.
Andress may have irked people withher cursive-style singingand lack of support on some of those big flourishes.
Wait, what is cursive singing?
Even if you dont know the term, you know the vibe.
That way peoplewayrm theyre vowayalsand add a lot of vocal fry.
When Camila Cabello was home for Quismoiss?
To paraphrase aFrench clowning instructor, a little cursive singing is okay, but a lot is more difficult.
Plus she should take a page out of Charli XCXs book re singing live.
Charli has been using AutoTune live for years, and theres no shame in that.
Theres so much software available now that no one needs to ever sound bad live ever again.
Is there a silver lining for Andress?
Yes, according toMatt Rogers.
Shes a shoo-in to headline WeHo Pride next year.
Okay, last q.: Is she wearing the TikTok viral Target cowboy boots?
See, thats what I thought, but those are actually alittle shorter.
Can you imagine, though?
