Who is Ingrid Andress, who just went viral for her rendition of the US national anthem? She’s written songs for Charli XCX and Bebe Rexha – but her MLB Home Run Derby showing was ‘one of the worst’

Country singer Ingrid Andress has gone viral for her widely panned performance of the US national anthem at the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby at the Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. On Monday night, the four-time Grammy nominee belted an a cappella version of “The Star-Spangled Banner”, an incredibly challenging song to sing. Clips of her less-than-popular rendition have since made the rounds on social media.

Her breakthrough single “More Hearts Than Mine” proceeded the release, peaked at No 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, and remained on the list for 20 weeks. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"ImageObject","caption":"Ingrid Andress performing at the Ozarks.
