Ingrid Andress kicked off the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby with a rendition of the national anthem that’s been getting a lot of flack on social media. You may not know who Andress is, but you’ll likely be seeing her performance all over the media in the coming days. So for those of you who aren’t country music fans, we’re breaking down who Ingrid Andress is and why her version of the Star-Spangled Banner is the meme of the moment.

Ingrid Andress is a four-time Grammy-nominated country singer-songwriter. She is best known for her two singles, "More Hearts Than Mine", which peaked at #30 on the Billboard Top 100, and "Wishful Drinking", which peaked at #47. She has also appeared on songs by Chali XCX, Why Don't We, Halestorm, Bebe Rexha, and Lauren Jenkins.

Although she initially enjoyed success with her singles, her albums failed to break through into the charts. From a critical standpoint, her music lacks any notable qualities and fails to stand out from the ocean of pop country releases that we are constantly bombarded with.

The sports world has seen some terrible renditions of the American national anthem and many agree that Andress's performance ranks among the worst ever.
