Ingrid Andress is heading to rehab after facing significant backlash from fans, Major League Baseball (MLB) viewers, and social media users.
The 32-year-old country music singer and songwriter has been gaining popularity since she first made a splash in 2019. However, her rise took a hit in mid-July when a public misstep left many scratching their heads. As a result, Andress vowed to “get help” and promised to check into a facility soon.
Why is Ingrid Andress going to rehab?
Andress officially entered rehab on Tuesday, July 16, following the strong negative reactions to her performance at the MLB Home Run Derby. She announced this decision on Instagram, where she apologized for the poor performance that led to the rehab stint. Her rendition of the National Anthem at the event was particularly criticized, leaving many viewers unimpressed and even causing some to turn down the volume on their TVs.
While Andress is generally considered a talented artist, her performance at the Home Run Derby was widely criticized. The footage of her singing went viral, and some even compared it unfavorably to Fergie’s much-maligned 2018 version of the anthem. Andress’s rendition was described as pitchy, off-key, and lacking the usual talent she showcases.
In response to the backlash, Andress promised to seek help and issued an apology to her fans, MLB viewers, and “to this country I love so much” for her subpar performance. Her decision to enter rehab is seen as a crucial step toward recovery, and fans hope it will help her return to her usual high standard of performance.
