Woman who filmed CEO kiss cam at Coldplay concert reveals how much she’s made from clip

The video broke the internet

In a viral clip viewed by millions of people, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was spotted embracing his coworker, Kristin Cabot, the company’s chief people officer while at a Coldplay gig in Boston.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted the embarrassed couple acting strangely when they were shown on the arena’s big screen.

As they first appear Coldplay frontman Chris Martin initially says: “Ooh, look at these two.”

Then, just as the embarrassed couple can be seen ducking out of view in an unsuccessful attempt to evade unwanted attention, Chris adds: “Alright, come on, you’re okay! Oh—what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy!”, which was quickly followed by a wave of raucous laughter from the 65,000 fans in attendance.

The saga has developed since then with Byron leaving his position following the controversy.

Now, the woman who filmed the clip has shared how much she has made from the viral video.

Grace Springer appeared on yesterday's (July 21) instalment of ITV's This Morning, where she explained to Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond that she's not made anything at all from the clip.

"I've actually made no money from the video itself or the views," she said.

"It's not monetised."

She added: "In the moment when I filmed it, I didn't think much of it, but of course, everyone was kind of chattering. There was over 50,000 people at the concert, so it was a hot topic.

"But it wasn't until after the concert, where I was debriefing with my friends and I said 'Let's review the footage, let's see if it really looks that bad.' And I think it does."

Springer was then asked if she had any regrets about uploading the clip.

She said: "I definitely feel for Andy's wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process.

"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."

Before Byron's resignation from his position, it emerged that the wife of the Astronomer CEO has reportedly changed her last name on Facebook, seemingly confirming the affair.

According to Page Six, Megan Kerrigan Byron removed her last name from her Facebook and shortly after deleted her entire account following the viral cheating allegations.

Byron’s wife, Megan, deleted her Facebook page after her account quickly flooded with comments about the alleged affair, per Page Six.

It also appears that CEO Byron has deleted his LinkedIn profile, as the URL now leads to an error message.

Byron has been at the tech company since July 2023, while Cabot joined in November 2024.

Astronomer is a private data infrastructure startup with a valuation exceeding $1 billion.

In a post announcing Cabot’s hiring, Byron praised the CPO for her “exceptional leadership and deep expertise,” as well as her “passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces.”

Astronomer’s former CEO, Ry Walker, quickly took to X to clear his name: “For those asking—I’m no longer involved in @astronomerio—yes I was co-founder and early CEO—not on the team or board since 2022, and have no information on ColdplayGate.”
