A recent Coldplay concert took an unexpected viral turn after a clip featuring Andy Byron, CEO of the $1.3 billion data company Astronomer, and his company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, surfaced online. The two were caught on the venue’s jumbotron during the concert, leading to an unexpectedly awkward yet memorable moment. As the camera zoomed in, Kristin was seen covering her face with both hands while Andy muttered, “F–king hell, it’s me,” before ducking out of frame. Kristin was also seen mouthing, “This is awkward,” clearly surprised by the unexpected spotlight.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin took note of the moment and light-heartedly commented to the crowd, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” before quickly adding, “I hope we didn’t do something bad…” The moment instantly became internet gold, sparking conversations and memes across platforms. Online sleuths quickly identified the pair: Andy Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, while Kristin Cabot finalized her divorce from Kenneth Thornby in 2022.

BTS’ Jin Reacts on Stage
The viral clip even caught the attention of K-pop superstar Jin from BTS. During his solo world tour RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR in Anaheim, Jin was playing charades with fans when the word “Coldplay” appeared on screen. ARMYs erupted into excitement, some even recreating the now-iconic “hug and duck” gesture from the video.
#AndyByron is classless first for cheating on his wife and children and second for blaming #Coldplay for interrupting a personal private moment. His statement is pathetic! Don’t hold someone and sway at a very public concert if you’re cheating on your wife. IDIOT!!! pic.twitter.com/cfg4dXMkej

This unexpected crossover of pop culture, corporate drama, and global fandom proves that viral moments truly know no borders.
