A viral TikTok video from a Coldplay concert has blown up, showing CEO Andy Byron of Astronomer getting cozy with his employee Kristin Cabot. The clip, filmed at Gillette Stadium on July 16, captured Byron wrapping his arms around Cabot as she leaned into him. Coldplay’s Chris Martin, thinking they were a couple, teased them on the jumbotron. When Cabot covered her face and Byron ducked out of frame, Martin joked, “Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy.”
The video was shot by Grace Springer, 28, from New Jersey. “I had no idea who they were. I just thought it was an interesting reaction to the kiss cam,” she told The Sun. “A part of me feels bad, but play stupid games… win stupid prizes.” Her post has now racked up millions of views.
As rumors swirled, a fake “apology” from Byron surfaced online. Astronomer shut it down fast, with spokesperson Taylor Jones confirming, “This is not a real statement.” The viral moment has left the internet buzzing — and Byron’s reputation under fire.
