The morning after botching the national anthem, Ingrid Andress confessed to being drunk. She pledged to immediately enter a rehab facility.

Major League Baseball invited the country singer to perform the “Star Spangled Banner” ahead of the Home Run Derby. Her rendition has been called the worst ever by a professional.

Once she sobered up, Ingrid posted this message to her 338,000 Instagram followers: “Not gonna B.S y'all. I was drunk last night. I'm checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. 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.”

Ingrid's version of the National Anthem now joins these other singers on the list of "Worst National Anthems".
