Ingrid Andress is a 32-year-old country singer, songwriter, and composer. She has released two studio albums, and several of her singles have topped the charts. She is undoubtedly talented. Unfortunately, that talent failed her on Monday evening when she performed "The Star-Spangled Banner".

Her voice at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, can confidently be described as howling. She was off-key, couldn’t hit the high notes, and outright butchered the most important song for Americans. It was hard for the players waiting for the game to start to keep a straight face. You can listen to the entire performance here:

The internet, of course, mercilessly mocks the singer, calling this performance the worst in the history of the American anthem. Quickly, voices surfaced saying that Fergie no longer holds the title of the worst performer of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Many likely remember Fergie's poor performance before an NBA game in 2008.
