The Coldplay “Kiss Cam” appeared to expose a cheating scandal — and the entire internet has thoughts.
During the band’s Boston concert on Wednesday, July 16, a “Kiss Cam” highlighted a pair of concertgoers canoodling in the crowd. Once they realized they were on camera, the man identified to be Astronomer CEO Andy Byron crouched down out of view. The woman with him, reported to be Astronomer’s Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, turned around and buried her face in her hands.
“Whoa, look at these two. Alright, come on. You’re OK,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin responded. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy. I’m not quite sure what to do. Holy s***. I hope we didn’t do something bad.”
Neither Byron nor Cabot, who are both reported to be married to other people, have addressed the viral scandal. (Us Weekly reached out for comment.)
While the tech company execs are staying silent, the internet hasn’t been able to stop talking. Keep scrolling to see what the stars have said about the concert drama:
Sara Foster
The Nobody Wants This cocreator joked via her Instagram Stories on July 18 that the Astronomer colleagues “are just people who also do dumb s***.”
“Men are so dumb. Just tell us you want a divorce and then go bone your coworker all day,” wrote Foster, who split from her husband of 19 years, Tommy Haas, in August 2024. “It’s not complicated. We’ll move on. Trust me.”
Chrissy Teigen
“I do not give two f***s about these cheaters,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “My God, it’s consuming you all. Are you OK?”
Bethenny Frankel
“What’s wrong with a Motel 6? Who could you not run into at a Coldplay concert?” she said in a social media video. “[There could be] your third grade gym teacher, your gynecologist, your college fraternity brother [or] your daughter’s cheerleading captain. Like, it’s not like it was a Metallica concert. … It’s a pretty mainstream concert.”
Frankel also wanted to know “what the f***” Byron and Cabot were thinking about choosing to attend the stadium concert together.
“Dude! Astronomer. The ‘Sky Full of Stars’ — that’s for shizzle,” she joked, naming the popular Coldplay song. “The f***.”
Matt Rogers
Rogers told iHeartRadio at his and Bowen Yang’s Las Culturistas Culture Awards that the scandal was his top pick for “Pop Culture Moment of the Year.”
“This has been quite the 24 hours for culture,” Rogers said, while Yang jokingly called the situation “devastating.”
Roy Wood Jr.
“That much money. He could’ve had Coldplay come to the crib,” the comedian joked via X about Byron’s reported net worth.
Katie Nolan
The ESPN personality couldn’t believe the scandal went viral.
“Haven’t seen something as white-hot viral as that video of the CEO cheating on his wife at a Coldplay concert in a while,” she wrote via X. “Very unfortunate for them, but kind of nice for us? Almost reminiscent of pre-whateverthef***thisis internet. Unless they launch a podcast.”
Chris Martin
After Martin seemingly exposed Byron and Cabot’s alleged affair, he made sure to double-check on future couples shown on the Kiss Cam.
“OK, now listen, are you two a couple?” Martin asked, checking to clarify that the duo could understand the English language. “Are you two a legitimate couple?”
Luke Bryan
The country singer poked fun at the viral moment during his July 17 concert in South Carolina.
“Who’s here with their secretary tonight?” Bryan joked via social media footage, pretending to point to a couple in the crowd. “It’s gotta be someone way up there that’s, uh … yeah. Do not get caught tonight!”
