What Can Ingrid Andress Teach Us About Ourselves?

In today's video, I discuss the recent performance by Ingrid Andress at the MLB Home Run Derby, where she sang the national anthem. This performance has sparked a lot of controversy and conversation online. While many have been quick to criticize, I believe this incident sheds light on broader issues within the Nashville music community and the country music industry at large.
It's essential to remember the pressures and challenges musicians face, especially in the spotlight. Ingrid's admission of needing help and her decision to enter rehab is a brave step that deserves support and understanding. As musicians, we must uplift each other, particularly in tough times, and avoid the culture of piling on when someone stumbles. Let's explore what this incident says about our community and how we can better support one another.
