America Unites Over New All-Time Worst National Anthem Performance
Cover your ears, America.
Singer Ingrid Andress delivered a now-viral performance of the national anthem Monday night ahead of the MLB’s Home Run Derby—a rendition many viewers have said deserves to sit in the pantheon of worst “Star Spangled Banner” performances of all time.
Andress, a 32-year-old country singer/songwriter, has earned four Grammy nominations, including one for Best New Artist in 2021. But even her most ardent fans are probably thinking of her Billboard Top 100 hit from that year, “Wishful Drinking,” after hearing her warble through the “Star Spangled Banner” at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
