After turning in a Home Run Derby national anthem performance that sounded like a mix between Roseanne Barr and a distressed cat, singer Ingrid Andress went on Twitter to say she was drunk and is now going to rehab:

Hey, credit to this woman for the honesty. “I’m not gonna bullshit y’all,” she says, then delivers the honest truth. Many people were wondering if she was hammered on Monday night, and yes she was. Straight from the source. Makes you wonder what her team was doing before the game. How you gonna let her sing in front of the nation while totally sloshed? Anybody at MLB paying half attention?

No big deal though. It happens. We’ve all been drunk on a microphone before, and if you haven’t, then I recommend karaoke. But on a more serious note, we’re pulling for an Ingrid Andress redemption story. She gets through rehab then comes out before Super Bowl 59 between the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills and belts out a fuckin banger of an anthem. Then all will be right with the world.
