LONDON
The Coldplay fan who was filming when a tech firm CEO was broadcast to a stadium of people with his arm around his HR chief has spoken out about the moment–to take a cheeky swipe at the couple.
Grace Springer, 28, was recording from the crowd when Andrew Byron and Kirstin Cabot appeared on the big screen together at Boston’s Gillette Stadium on Tuesday.
The couple recoiled, with Byron, the head of the AI startup Astronomer, diving out of view and Cabot covering her face and turning away from the camera.
Coldplay’s Chris Martin poked at the couple on the kiss cam, jokingly speculating: ‘Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.’
Grace, from New Jersey, went on to share the drama on TikTok, before it very rapidly grew into a viral sensation.
She told the U.S. Sun she had no idea who they were, but but thought it was an ‘interesting reaction’ to the kiss cam.
‘A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but, play stupid games… win stupid prizes,’ she told the outlet.
The video been seen tens of millions of times in the last three days.
