ARLINGTON, Tx — Have you seen it?
Thousands of people are reacting to the National Anthem performance at a popular Major League Baseball event on Monday night.
Ingrid Andress performed at the MLB Home Run Derby at Globe Life Field in Arlington Monday and the video has gone viral. The performance gained even more attention after the singer posted on Instagram saying she was drunk.
People on social media are commenting that the performance was the "worst," "horrific," "a disgrace" and more. The singer even got so many comments on her social media page that she eventually had to disable comments.
Andress apologized in her Instagram post Tuesday saying she plans to seek help in a facility.
The singer went on to say "I'll let y'all know how rehab is, I hear it's fun."
Her post has almost 10,000 comments and over 43,000 likes. Some people commented that the post was a marketing strategy and a PR stunt while others offered their love and support — including American actress Lucy Hale.
ESPN also posted about the performance on X, formerly known as Twitter.
