In a surprising twist at a Coldplay concert in Boston, a viral moment has led to an internal investigation at a US tech company, Astronomer. The focus centers on a big screen embrace between two individuals rumored to be company executives, potentially involving CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot.
The incident unfolded on Wednesday night, capturing the attention of concert-goers when they were seen swaying together before abruptly ducking away from the camera, igniting speculation and comedic commentary. Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin quipped, “Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy,” adding fuel to the fire as the clip spread rapidly across TikTok and other social media platforms, amassing millions of views.
In the wake of the event, Astronomer released a statement emphasizing its commitment to maintaining an accountable workplace. The board has launched a formal investigation into the incident, though specifics regarding the viral clip were not disclosed. “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the company stated.
While Andy Byron joined Astronomer in July 2023, and Kristin Cabot has been with the company since November 2024, neither has publicly confirmed their identities in the viral video. Furthermore, Astronomer clarified that no other employees were featured in the footage, amidst rampant misinformation circulating online.
The excitement generated by this unexpected moment at the concert extends beyond social media, transforming into memes and discussion on various television shows. As the internet buzz continues, Astronomer asserts that further details on their investigation will be forthcoming.
