Alex Cooper didn’t win Chicago Cubs fans over with her rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame.”
Cooper was a guest at a Cubs game Sunday, July 6, and was invited to put her spin on the baseball anthem. “Alright Daddy Gang and Cubs fans, are you ready?” she said, adding with a laugh, “You’ve never seen something like this before.”
The Pennsylvania native and two friends performed the song in Cubs jerseys, with the “Call Her Daddy” podcast host playfully singing the song dramatically and off key, stifling laughter with the friends serving as backup dancers.
The crowd quickly began booing, as heard in social media video, which only increased during Cooper’s big finish. The podcaster and businesswoman appeared unaffected however, laughing through the performance and ending with a big smile on her face.
