\n\tIngrid Andress<\/a> is ready to move on from her controversial national anthem<\/a> performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn her first interview since going to rehab after her botched take of the \u201cStar-Spangled Banner\u201d at the 2024 Home Run Derby served as a wakeup call to her issues with alcohol, the country singer-songwriter opened up to Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> <\/em>about everything that led up to her \u201cworst moment\u201d \u2014 and how she\u2019s grown from it since. \u201cI am sorry you had to witness that horrific rendition of our nation\u2019s anthem,\u201d she began in a piece published Thursday (March 6) . \u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tIngrid Andress Redeems Herself With National Anthem 7 Months After Fumbled\u00a0Performance\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cWhoever that was is not an accurate representation of who I am at all,\u201d she continued. \u201cYou got to see me in my worst moment, so now, everything from here will be great.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAndress went on to explain that, by the time she stepped onto the field in Arlington, Texas, last July, she\u2019d already been accustomed to drinking before gigs to numb unresolved feelings about her career and a certain breakup \u2014 and that day was no exception. Up until then, however, she\u2019d \u201cnever let it get in the way of my performance,\u201d she told the publication. \u201cI liked the numbness \u2026 That\u2019s part of how it got out of control.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThis time around, the \u201cMore Hearts Than Mine\u201d singer said she was too \u201cblacked out\u201d to hear the anthem\u2019s starting pitch in her in-ear monitors, which contributed to the pitchiness and questionable melodic choices viewers witnessed that day. \u201cIf you don\u2019t start on the note that it gives you, you\u2019re screwed,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt was my voice fighting with the tuner, which is a losing battle.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAndress didn\u2019t immediately realize how badly the performance went, but the online vitriol<\/a> that followed quickly opened her eyes to how serious the issue was. She quickly drafted a statement<\/a> at her team\u2019s suggestion \u2014 \u201cI\u2019m not gonna bulls\u2013t y\u2019all, I was drunk last night \u2026 That was not me last night,\u201d she wrote \u2014 and was on a plane to a rehab facility outside of her home state of Tennessee mere hours later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI didn\u2019t run that statement by anybody,\u201d she said in the interview, adding that she received messages of support from fellow women country artists such as Elle King, Kelsea Ballerini and Little Big Town\u2019s Karen Fairchild in the aftermath. \u201cI needed to let people know that it\u2019s not just this one incident that I messed up. \u2018I need to get better. I\u2019m at such a low place, I\u2019m not gonna lie about it.’\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe four-time Grammy nominee has since completed treatment and, after spending months reconnecting with herself in her native Colorado, redeemed herself<\/a> with a second national anthem performance at a recent Colorado Avalanche hockey game. On Monday (March 3), she also released her first song since the debacle: \u201cFootprints,\u201d a musical \u201creminder to all the people I love the most, and also to myself, that I\u2019m out here trying my best at this \u2018life\u2019 thing,\u201d she wrote on Instagram this week.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOf what her redemption arc has taught her, Andress told Rolling Stone<\/em>, \u201cI learned to not ever let your past dictate what you can do in the future.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tShe added, \u201cSometimes it takes a little public humiliation to turn your life around.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
