Ingrid Andress' MLB national anthem performance goes viral: “Worst thing to happen in America”

Ingrid Andress, like Christina Aguilera and Roseanne Barr before her, is facing criticism for her poorly received performance of the national anthem.

Her rendition of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at the MLB's T-Mobile Home Run Derby on Monday in Arlington, Texas, was marked by noticeable vocal cracks.

As a result, she swiftly became the subject of memes on social media.

“Wow! @IngridAndress actually did it, she united America,” wrote one person on X (formerly Twitter) with a screenshot of multiple people on the platform criticizing the performance.

“That Ingrid Andress national anthem might have been the worst thing to happen in America in the last 48 hours #brutal,” wrote another person after Donald Trump was targeted during a shooting at his Pennsylvania campaign rally on Saturday.

“Fergie seeing Ingrid Andress dethrone her for worst National Anthem performance,” someone wrote with a video surfaced showing Regina Hall joyfully jumping in a scene from Scary Movie 2 (2001). Earlier, she received backlash for her rendition of the national anthem at the 2018 NBA All Star Weekend.

“Got to Ingrid Andress’ Wiki being edited before they revert it,” someone else wrote with a screenshot of a Wikipedia entry that reads, “She is also known for butchering the national anthem before the 2024 MLB All Star Game Home Run Derby.”

In the midst of criticism over Andress' performance, someone shared a video of Meat Loaf delivering a successful rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" three decades ago.
