This Woman Made Andy Byron-Kristin Cabot’s 'Kiss-Cam' Video At Coldplay Concert Viral; Meet Grace Springer

At what was supposed to be just another dreamy Coldplay concert, one fan's fun video turned into the internet’s latest wildfire. Meet Grace Springer, the 28-year-old Coldplay fan from New Jersey who unintentionally exposed a scandalous moment at the Boston concert and turned two corporate heavyweights into the talk of the internet.

How Grace Springer captured Coldplay’s viral 'Kiss-Cam' moment

Grace, who was at Gillette Stadium with her friends, caught a moment on the kiss-cam where Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were seen "cuddling" in what many interpreted as a compromising moment. The plot twist was that both of them are married, but not to each other.

Springer casually posted the video online, not expecting it to blow up. But in less than 24 hours, the clip had over 50 million views, and both Byron and Cabot were caught in a media frenzy.

Speaking to The Sun, Grace explained she didn’t know who they were at the time. "It was definitely a hot topic, but no one knew who they were," she said, adding, "A part of me feels sorry for these people, but in the end, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes."

Grace also clarified that the video wasn't meant to stir drama; it simply captured what she thought was an amusing reaction to the kiss cam. Still, she expressed sympathy for the couple’s respective partners. "I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise," she added.

How Coldplay 'Kiss-Cam' went viral

The now-infamous Coldplay 'Kiss-Cam' unfolded when frontman Chris Martin jokingly commented on the awkward moment: “Oh, look at these two. Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy!”

Soon after, Byron quickly exited the frame, followed by Cabot, adding to the speculation. The video was then everywhere, creating memes, debates, and internet sleuthing.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, has since removed his surname from her Facebook profile, suggesting that real-life consequences have already begun.
