          • She is checking into a rehab facility for help
        • Deception (30%)
          The author makes editorializing statements by comparing Ingrid Andress' performance to Fergie's and implying that Andress was drunk due to her 'jazzier version' of the anthem. The author also uses sensational language such as 'botched anthem', 'unique flair', and 'deeper reason'. The author selectively reports details by focusing on the negative reactions to Andress' performance and ignoring any potential technical difficulties or support for her. There is no clear evidence of deception regarding Andress' admission to being drunk, but the author's language creates an exaggerated narrative.
          • Andress received support from country music duo Brothers Osborne, who wrote on social media: ‘I know everyone is here for laughs but as someone who has seen her sing many times live, she is incredibly talented. Not sure what happened here but I’d bet the farm there were huge technical problems with her monitors.’
          • Many others watching at home didn’t hold back their criticism and poked fun at Andress online.
          • The singer has revealed the deeper reason her performance didn’t go as planned.
