Ingrid Andress Massacres US National Anthem Before Game: ‘Worst Performance Ever’
“When your mom lied to you and said you were a good singer”, “they should have immediately rewarded the players who kept a straight face”, “the players probably thought that it didn’t matter whether they won or not, because the worst was already behind them”, “that moment when the crowd doesn’t cheer during the anthem, but when it’s over” – the fans sneered under the recordings that went viral. Andress quickly responded to the situation.
The singer posted a statement on social media, explaining her poor performance. She admitted that she was drunk while singing and that this was not a one-time thing. The artist decided to go to rehab.
