Country Music Stars Mock Coldplay Kiss Cam Scandal: ‘You’re Safe Here’

Celebrities, journalists, ordinary Joes, and even sports mascots are making jokes about the viral kiss cam gone wrong at a Coldplay concert last week. That includes three major country stars who all referenced the viral moment that’s been captivating social media ever since. 

The drama occurred during a show in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Wednesday night. That’s when Andy Byron, CEO of the tech company Astronomer, was caught embracing the company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, who dramatically turned away from the camera once they realized they’d been seen.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin reacted to the couple’s suspicious behavior, saying, “Uh oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

Country star Morgan Wallen joked about the viral clip during a concert on Friday in Glendale, Arizona. The “Last Night” singer said from the stage, “Anybody in here with their side chick or whatever, I think you’re safe here,” as the crowd went wild.

“I don’t condone cheating… anymore,” Wallen added.

Singer Jason Aldean also used the kiss cam scandal as a way to promote his own show, writing in his Instagram Stories, “Bring your girl to the Aldean show before her CEO does. Just saying.” The post included the infamous image of Byron and Cabot embracing just before they realize they’re caught.

Luke Bryan also joked about the incident during his July 17 concert in Greenville, South Carolina. “Who’s with their secretary tonight?” the singer asked the crowd. 

“Hey, it’s got to be somebody way up there,” he said, indicating some seats in the distance. “Oh, yeah! There they are,” Bryan said. “Do not get caught tonight!”

The Coldplay kiss cam moment has dominated the news cycle since late last week, with social media users obsessing over the details and making a plethora of memes about it. Since the news broke, Byron has stepped down from his role as CEO at Astronomer. 

The company released a lengthy statement on Monday that did not clarify any details about the incident, but a previous LinkedIn post confirmed that they were launching an investigation into the conduct of their employees.
