Alex Cooper Booed at Wrigley Field for Off-Key ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’

Alex Cooper probably didn’t think she’d leave Wrigley Field with a fresh dose of humiliation. But that’s what happened when the Call Her Daddy host grabbed the mic for Take Me Out to the Ballgame. If you were there, you know. If not, trust the internet — it was rough.

What Went So Wrong?

She stepped up during the classic seventh inning stretch. Cubs vs. Cardinals. Packed house. She leaned into it too, acting playful for the cameras. But the crowd wasn’t buying it. The pitchy notes, the dragged-out lines — it turned from fun to cringey real quick.

Wrigley’s not new to guest singers. They’ve had legends like Bill Murray absolutely own that mic. So when Alex started screeching instead of singing, fans just weren’t having it. They let her know fast. Booed her right there in the middle of her moment.

Social media didn’t hold back either. People called it a sad Mariah Carey knockoff. One tweet said it wasn’t even so-bad-it’s-funny like Ditka or Ozzy Osbourne’s old messy attempts. It was worse because she seemed to think she was nailing it.

Why Do Fans Care So Much?

This stretch song means something at Wrigley. It’s tradition. It’s like church for baseball fans. If you’re gonna grab that mic, you better deliver or at least mess up in a loveable way. Alex didn’t pull that off.

It’s not her first time getting heat either. She’s always been polarizing. Her Call Her Daddy run with Barstool ended messy. Then the giant Spotify deal dropped — sixty million dollars big. Fans rolled their eyes but tuned in anyway. Then she got roasted for her Kamala Harris episode too. Scripted vibes, a fancy set, the works. Critics said it felt staged.

Alex has pulled stunts before — first pitch at Fenway Park, big interviews, big paychecks. But winning over Cubs fans with an off-key baseball anthem? Not so much. Sometimes all the money and mics can’t drown out a stadium full of boos.
