The Coldplay enthusiast who inadvertently revealed a tech tycoon’s alleged affair with his head-of-HR lover shared a straightforward message for the involved duo: “Engage in foolish actions… receive foolish outcomes.”

Grace Springer, 28, captured the now-famous scene where Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, were caught on a “kiss cam” embracing during the band’s Boston concert on Wednesday night.

The devoted Coldplay fan told the US Sun she was unaware she was about to ignite a frenzy when she posted the footage, which has since garnered over 49 million views on her TikTok.

“I had no idea who the couple was. Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it,” she said.

“A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but, play stupid games… win stupid prizes.”

The awkward video showed Byron and Cabot scrambling to hide their faces after the jumbotron suddenly panned to them during the concert.

As Cabot flung her hands over her face and Byron ducked down out of view, frontman Chris Martin quipped, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

As the clip exploded on social media, it quickly emerged Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, while Cabot recently divorced her husband, Kenneth Thornby.

“I hope their partners can heal from this and get a second chance at the happiness they deserve with their future still in front of them,” Springer said.

“I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise.”
