Ingrid Andress sang the U.S. national anthem at the Home Run Derby in Texas on Monday night. "Star-Spangled Banner" sounded really weird, though.

The players, audience and other guests wondered what was going on with Andress. As soon as the opening ceremony was over, the 32-year-old's performance went viral. In this X-Post, the user writes: "This is definitely an anthem." An allusion to the fact that the country singer messed up her version of the US anthem - unlike others.

Users also wrote that it was "the worst performance of the national anthem in American history".

On Instagram, the musician admitted afterwards: "I kid you not, I was drunk last night. I will be checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need."

Major League Baseball has not yet commented on the four-time Grammy-nominated singer's singing.
