Due to some incredible developments in the genre, country music attracted a lot of attention in 2024.
However, as they say, not every shot goes in the hoop, and country music also received some attention that it may not have desired.
When Ingrid Andress sang the national anthem during the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby on July 15, it was one of the events that garnered widespread attention. Let’s just say that it wasn’t her best performance.
The internet went crazy—and not in a good way—after her performance. In fact, Andress made it onto the list of 2024’s Most Googled Musicians. Andress is ranked number six on the list.
But, if you consider it from the perspective of “no press is bad press,” she is in excellent company with some significant marquee names. Among the other names on the Top 5 list are:
- Usher
- Diddy
- Kendrick Lamar
- Drake
- Justin Timberlake.
Most of us in the country music community were perplexed by what transpired that evening because we know that Andress can sing.
Andress then acknowledged the circumstance and made the following declaration:
“I won’t lie to you; I was intoxicated last night. To acquire the assistance I require, I’m checking myself into a facility today. Last night, I wasn’t like that. I sincerely apologize for that performance to MLB, all of the fans, and our nation that I adore.”
Five months have passed since the performance that made Andress one of Google’s 2024 Most Googled Musicians, and the country singer hasn’t released a new song.
