Grace Springer, the fan responsible for filming the now-viral Coldplay kiss cam video, is breaking down exactly how sharing the footage has impacted her life.

The 28-year-old appeared on the Monday, July 21, episode of the U.K.’s This Morning, speaking to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary about capturing the awkward moment at the band’s Gillette Stadium concert this month.

“I was hoping to see myself on the big screen, and I love to capture moments, so that’s why my phone was out in the first place,” Springer explained. “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.”

In a TikTok clip the internet can’t stop talking about, singer Chris Martin called out a pair of concertgoers getting cuddly in the crowd at the Wednesday, July 16, show.

“Whoa, look at these two. All right, come on. You’re OK,” Martin, 48, said as the pair quickly separated from one another. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy. I’m not quite sure what to do.”

The duo were later identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot. The CEO is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, who reportedly removed “Byron” from her Facebook page before deleting her account in the wake of the viral scandal.

When asked whether she has any regrets about sharing the clip, Springer said her thoughts are with Andy’s family — but wouldn’t have done anything differently.

“I definitely feel for Andy’s wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process,” she explained. “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.”

Springer added that she “never would have imagined” the video would take off like it has, saying that the moment was just as buzz-worthy in the stadium. While the clip has been recreated plenty of times online — Sofia Richie Grainge and her husband, Elliot Grainge, even joined in on the fun via TikTok — Springer hasn’t earned anything other than views.

“I’ve actually made no money from the video itself or the views,” she said on Monday. “It’s not monetized.”

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron went viral for all the wrong reasons at a recent Coldplay concert. During Coldplay’s gig at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, on July 16, the band used a Kiss Cam to showcase couples in the audience on the jumbotron — but Byron did not seem thrilled when he was caught with […]

Amid the controversy, Astronomer announced on Friday, July 18, that Andy was put on leave, with cofounder Pete DeJoy stepping in as interim CEO. Just one day later, news broke that Andy resigned.

“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” a spokesperson for the company told Us Weekly in a statement. “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”

The statement continued, “Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI. While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We’re continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data & AI problems.”

Cabot has yet to publicly address the concert video. She was hired in November 2024.
