On Wednesday, footage from a Coldplay concert in Massachusetts went viral after the jumbotron displayed a couple comfortably watching the concert, a man with his arms around a woman.
As soon as the pair notice that they are being filmed, they startle, moving away and hiding their faces from the camera.
After the footage was first posted online, spreading from TikTok through X (Twitter) and Instagram, the pair were identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s HR chief Kristin Cabot. Who are married but not to each other.
