Ingrid Andress’ latest album Lady Like
Ingrid Andress is ready to represent country music at [last] Sunday’s Grammys! Ahead of this weekend’s awards show, the country artist up for three awards (including best new artist) talks to PEOPLE about learning that she was nominated — and what she’s most looking forward to at the show.
“I was just going about my normal daily routine of doing nothing, watering my plants,” the 29-year-old tells PEOPLE about learning she was up for several Grammys. “That made my year even weirder. ‘2020 was my year,’ said nobody ever except for me.”
“I’m like, ‘Okay, I’ve peaked! I retire,'” she jokes.
Andress is the only country artist nominated in the best new artist category, her song “More Hearts Than Mine” is up for best country song and her album Lady Like is nominated for best country album alongside the likes of Miranda Lambert, Ashley McBryde, Little Big Town and Brandy Clark.
“I love that there’s room for all different types of expression and art. I obviously love country music, but there is something about just appreciating the craftsmanship of music and getting to celebrate that with a bunch of other talented people who are just as passionate about what they’re doing as you are,” she says. “And you don’t always get to be in a room like that. In fact, most of the time you don’t get to be in a room like that. So to me, that’s kind of what I’ve been looking forward to about it the most and what makes it so special to me.”
