Nominated for multiple CMA Awards, country singer Ingrid Andress stole everyone’s heart with her “heartbreakingly beautiful” performance of ‘More Hearts Than Mine’.

On the 54th CMA awards at Nashville’s Music City Center, the 29-year-old country singer performed her debut single ‘More Hearts Than Mine’ which debuted at number 59 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in July 2019. She has also been nominated for ‘New Artist of the Year’ and ‘Song of the Year’ for her "emotionally stunning" number. Since her performance aired on ABC television, fans couldn't have enough of the soulful performance as most of them shed tears.

A fan wrote, “Best performance of the night goes to @IngridAndress, truly amazing watching people achieve their dreams. You could feel all the emotions that she was experiencing in that moment #CMAawards” Another said, “Between Ingrid Andress singing the best song I've heard this year, making all of us (including her) cry, and being one of the only white performers to include BIPOC as musicians in her performance, she deserves everything she gets in life. A+."

Beautiful reactions poured in on Twitter: “@IngridAndress the emotion you showed tonight was heartbreakingly beautiful!! #CMAawards #CMAawardslive.” The soulful country number is also gaining her more fans as one wrote, “This was my first time hearing her sing, but that was a great performance by Ingrid Andress, I really like the song too. Looks like I have another talented female voice in Country Music to check out."

“I’ve never heard Ingrid Andress sing until tonight but her performance was SO good. the way it brought tears to her eyes... ugh. so talented, @IngridAndress #CMAawards” Another said, “That @IngridAndress performance got me in the feels, too. #CMAawards”

Ingrid has released her first album “Lady Like” this year in March. On getting multiple nominations for CMA, the country singer said in an interview, "I was really surprised," adding "because I still feel very new."
 
She also feels her unique take on modern country music is a quality that she vows to keep embracing. "Just being affirmed by your peers in the country music world, it's really relieving to be honest, because a lot of the times, if you're too different, people will be like, 'You're too different for us,'" she said. "So the fact that people are like, 'We like that you're different' is really nice because I wasn't going to change. So it's more of like a 'Thank God' kind of thing."
