Ingrid Andress took center stage at the 2024 Home Run Derby, held at Globe Life Field in Texas, and her rendition of the National Anthem quickly became the talk of the event. The country music sensation and four-time Grammy nominee's live performance on Monday, July 15, sparked a flurry of social media reactions almost instantly.
Several users on X, formerly known as Twitter, drew comparisons between Andress's performance and Fergie's memorable 2018 NBA All-Star game anthem, with one user commenting, "Fergie watching Ingrid Andress claim her crown for the worst national anthem of all time."
The performance even reminded some of the 2006 "Saturday Night Live" skit "National Anthem," where Maya Rudolph's character, Pamela Bell, humorously belts out the song. Amid the online chatter, a humorous post depicted Andress, jokingly claiming she had been put on a 60-day injury list for a "torn esophagus."
In the midst of the buzz, Andress also announced her upcoming single "Colorado 9," set to release on July 24th. She reached out to her fans with a heartfelt message, expressing excitement for her return to the music scene and upcoming special shows.
"Thank you for being here for me even though I've been living under a rock," Andress shared in her message. "Y'all are the best, and I can't wait to see you at my shows (stay tuned for more show announcements soon)."
