Funniest social media reactions after CEO Andy Byron and HR exec caught in affair at Coldplay concert
When Coldplay took the stage at Gillette Stadium, fans expected love songs — not live affair exposure. But that’s exactly what happened when the kiss cam landed on Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot, who appeared a little too cozy. Chris Martin even joked, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” before the couple ducked out of sight — and the internet lost its mind.
The scandal sparked a tsunami of jokes. Here's a roundup of the funniest reactions making the rounds.

Man ALL YOU HAD TO DO was no-sell it. If you hadn't gone down like you'd been shot, nobody would've ever known. What, you think your spouses are sat at home watching Coldplay jumbotron footage??? You've absolutely played yourselves. https://t.co/BorZxLZ0p6

Haven’t seen a CEO hit the ground like this since 12/4 https://t.co/wwSJhQ2zXU
What started as a romantic Coldplay concert turned into a viral PR disaster — but also the funniest meme moment of July 2025. Whether it's the sweatshirt merch, fake LinkedIn apologies, or lyrical rewrites of Fix You, social media has truly outdone itself. If there’s one lesson here, it’s this: never take your affair to a Coldplay concert — and definitely don’t sit front and center during kiss cam.
