Personifying the theory that all publicity is good publicity, country singer Ingrid Andress' music is now soaring in popularity after she drunkenly bombed The Star-Spangled Banner before Monday's Home Run Derby in Texas.

The 32-year-old country singer has since apologized to fans, admitting to being inebriated and vowing to go to rehab.

But since then, interest in Andress' music has spiked on SoundCloud, which ranks among the most popular streaming services on the internet.

As SoundCloud reps told TMZ, Andress' 2019 song 'More Hearts Than Mine' has seen the biggest rise as her overall portfolio increased 'by over double.'

'Wishful Drinking,' a song she co-wrote with JP Saxe and recorded with Sam Hunt, is another popular track and deals with struggles with alcohol and relationships.

Country singer 'crushes' national anthem at MLB All-Star Game after Ingrid Andress disaster

Andress canceled a pair of upcoming shows after revealing she was drunk at the Home Run Derby in Arlington on Monday.

In her statement, Andress admitted she is entering rehab.

'I'm not gonna bulls**t y'all, I was drunk last night,' she wrote on social media after her wildly off-key performance Monday night became national news.

'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. I'll let y'all know how rehab is. I hear it's super fun,' she added, before signing off, 'xo, Ingrid.'

Days later, her concert at Row One in Nashville set for Wednesday and another performance at the Globe Hall Theater in Denver - scheduled for July 24 - have been canceled.

The ticket link for the Nashville show opens a message that reads: 'Tickets are currently not available online. This event has been canceled by the organizer.'

Andress - a four-time Grammy nominated artist - drew comparisons with Fergie after going viral for all the wrong reasons, as some said that she sang far worse than the former lead singer of the Black-Eyed Peas at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game.

'Ingrid Andress giving Fergie a run for worst national anthem ever performed,' one person wrote on X in the wake of the performance.

'My ears are bleeding. One of the worst national anthem renditions ever,' another person shared.

A third chimed in, 'That Ingrid Andress national anthem might have been the worst thing to happen in America in the last 48 hours #brutal.'

Astonishingly, the All-Star crowd politely offered Andress a round of applause, although a few intermittent boos could be heard during the ESPN broadcast.
