, who has previously received four Grammy Award nominations.

“I’m checking myself into a facility today to get the help I need. That was not me last night. I apologize to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love so much for that rendition.”

She added: “I’ll let y’all know how rehab is – I hear it’s super fun.”

Andress’s a-capella version of the anthem was called “painful” and “one of the worst national-anthem renditions ever”, on social media.

The Daily ****** headline said: “America unites over new all-time worst national-anthem performance.”

Some people posted clips of Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm apparently smirking as Andress was singing.

But she also received sympathy and support following her apology.

“I’m so sorry you’re going through this,” singer and actress Lucy Hale wrote. Sending you a lot of my thoughts. Take care of you and you’re going to come out of this so much stronger.”

Country star Martina McBride said: “Sending lots of love and positivity. You got this.”

Singer-songwriter Julia Michaels said: “Love you, girl. I’m sorry you’re going through this. And I’m sorry the world can be so cruel. Here for you XX.”

‘True talent’

Fellow singer-songwriter Carly Pearce said: “Being this open takes a lot. You’ve got this. Hang in there.”
