Ingrid Andress says she was "drunk" during her disastrous National Anthem performance before Monday's MLB Home Run Derby in Arlington, Texas.

“I’m not gonna bullshit y’all, I was drunk last night,” she on social media. “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.”

On Monday night, the 32-year-old singer kicked off the event but was subsequently criticized for being extremely off-key and failing to control her pitch.

Regardless of the reasons behind her off-key performance, fans still had a lot to say. Check out some reactions below.
