Andy Byron, Kristin Cabot Memes Explode After Coldplay Kiss Cam Video
The internet is good and bad for a lot of things, but it always delivers when it comes to memes and a good laugh. Sometimes, though, those laughs come at others' expense.
This time, the memes making their way around the World Wide Web are focused on video from the kiss cam at a recent Coldplay concert in Massachusetts.
In focus is a couple, whom many believe to be Astronomer CEO Andy Byron with the company's Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot. Men's Journal has requested comment from Astronomer about the video, which can be seen here.
What happened is that a man and woman were captured in an embrace on the Jumbotron. They didn't seem happy about the attention, and that led no other than Coldplay's Chris Martin to single them out from the stage.
But what is confirmed is that the memes are internet gold.
Corporate Sween, run by Ben Sweeny, best known for his satirical posts about life in the corporate world, in a post said he's inspired by Byron.

A parody account on X reposted a faked screenshot of Grammy-winning rapper Future's Instagram story with the caption "I can't save u twin u on ur own." Future's real Instagram page does not have anything posted to its story at the time of publishing.
UPDATE: Future responds to Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s alleged affair situation via his IG story:

The Leonardo DiCaprio meme template was also put to good use here.

And not to be outdone by the person who issued a fake statement claiming to be from Astronomer, which duped some British tabloids and other media, someone made a meme of a fake post by Coldplay on X.

Again, it's important to note that nobody has confirmed if the video actually shows Byron or Cabot, and Astronomer told Men's Journal that the post from the X account of Peter Enis CBS News is fake.
"This is not a real statement," Astronomer's Taylor Jones said.
But the memes continued.
Several memes using clips from The Office made appearances too, as well as Homer Simpson's bush meme.

Another meme had some constructive criticism for whoever was actually on the kiss cam and quickly ducked out of sight, if they were involved in an affair.
this is how you should go to concerts if you’ve called in sick or you’re cheating on your partners btw pic.twitter.com/nAuwdjlUpJ

Even Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin thought the two caught on the kiss cam might be cheating.
"Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy," he said on stage as the couple's faces flashed in front of the crowd at the July 17, 2025 concert.
"Holy s***. I hope we didn’t do something bad," he added.
And lastly, one meme suggested what Byron's wife Megan Kerrigan Byron might want to do should the affair allegations be true.
