As the internet continues to react to the viral Coldplay concert video featuring Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot caught on the kiss cam, a familiar theory has resurfaced: The Simpsons predicted it.
A widely shared image circulating online appears to show characters resembling Byron and Cabot in a kiss cam moment from an alleged episode of The Simpsons.
The supposed frame shows two yellow characters reacting awkwardly on a stadium screen, drawing instant comparisons to the real-life concert clip.

This sparked speculation that The Simpsons had once again predicted a bizarre pop culture moment.

However, there’s no confirmed episode containing this scene. Multiple media outlets and fan databases indicate that the image is not from any official Simpsons episode and is likely AI-generated.
While a few earlier episodes, such as scenes involving kiss cam gags exist, none specifically resemble the viral Coldplay scenario.
The Simpsons has long had a reputation for eerie “predictions,” from Donald Trump’s presidency to tech trends. But in most cases, these predictions are either coincidental or exaggerated through social media manipulation.
The show's writers have addressed this myth repeatedly, stating that with over 700 episodes, parallels are inevitable.
In this case, while the image may feel on-brand for The Simpsons, there's no evidence it’s real.
