A 20-second cuddle at a Coldplay concert turned two anonymous executives into global villains, and a viral cautionary tale about power, privacy, and the wrath of the internet.

No, Andy Byron is no longer the CEO of Astronomer. He resigned shortly after a video of him and Kristin Cabot went viral during a Coldplay concert. Coldplay fans are often referred to as “Coldplayers.” It’s a simple but affectionate nickname used across fan forums and social media.

Kristin was seen in an unexpected Jumbotron moment at a Coldplay concert in the arms of her boss, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, in July 2025.
