What was meant to be a fun, lighthearted moment during Coldplay’s Wednesday night concert quickly spiraled into a public relations nightmare for a top tech CEO—and the footage is nothing short of mortifying.
During the band’s performance at Gillette Stadium in Boston, frontman Chris Martin brought out the classic kiss cam to entertain the crowd. But when the camera landed on Andy Byron, the married CEO of Astronomer—a software company reportedly valued at over $1 billion—and his Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, things took a dramatic turn.
The pair appeared unusually close, with Byron’s arms wrapped around Cabot, who smiled warmly. However, once they realized they were caught on Coldplay’s kiss cam, their reactions betrayed them. Byron quickly pulled away and ducked behind a barrier, while Cabot hid her face in her hands, visibly flustered.
Chris Martin’s playful banter only added fuel to the fire.
The incident didn’t just shock the live audience; it quickly spread across social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, where the viral footage has amassed millions of views and thousands of comments.
Though neither Byron nor Cabot have publicly addressed the situation, online reactions have been swift and unforgiving:
- “What happens in the DARK will always come to the LIGHT!! EVERY SINGLE TIME!!”
- “If they hadn’t panicked, this wouldn’t have gone viral 😭 They tried to hide but only exposed themselves more.”
- “Their reaction made it so much worse.”
- “Imagine if their spouses were Coldplay fans…”
- “LMAO! That’s what they get.”
Support for Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, has flooded in, with users tagging her and urging her to “check social media now.”
Who Are Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot?
Andy Byron has served as CEO of Astronomer since July 2023, with a background in cybersecurity and software leadership roles. Astronomer, specializing in data orchestration tools, is highly regarded in the tech industry, serving clients from banking to media.
Kristin Cabot, who joined as Chief People Officer nine months ago, describes herself on LinkedIn as someone who “wins trust with employees at all levels—from CEOs to managers to assistants.” Ironically, that title now seems under intense scrutiny.
Once viewed as key figures in a thriving tech empire, Byron and Cabot are now the unwilling stars of what the internet has dubbed the “Coldplay Cheater Cam.”
