Who filmed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin's viral moment?

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot went viral last week after a kiss cam incident at the Coldplay concert. A video clip of them seemingly cuddling and then hiding after being spotted on the band's kiss cam circulated on social media.

At Coldplay's concert in Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, the camera panned to Byron and Cabot, who were seen cuddling. As soon as they realized they were on the kiss cam, they separated and apparently hid their faces. The moment was captured and shared on social media, and the two were later recognized.

The clip was taken by Grace Springer, a 28-year-old New Jersey resident. She attended the concert with her friends and took the clip of Andy Bryon and Kristin Cabot before sharing it on her social media. In an interview with The Sun, published on July 18, she shared her thoughts on the incident, saying:

"I had no idea who the couple was. Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it. A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but, play stupid games… win stupid prizes.

Springer added:

"I hope their partners can heal from this and get a second chance at the happiness they deserve with their future still in front of them. I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise."

She uploaded the video on TikTok on Wednesday, and it gathered millions of views overnight. The big Coldplay fan shared that she didn't know who the two were, but got to know after the video started doing rounds on social media.

“I definitely feel for Andy’s wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process,” she added. “But as I said, there was over 50,000 people and I’m not the only one that caught it on camera, so if it wasn’t me who uploaded it, I’m sure someone else would have.”
