Coldplay Fan Reports No Earnings From Viral CEO Kiss Cam Video

Grace Springer, the Coldplay fan who captured the viral kiss cam moment involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot, revealed she has made no money from the video despite its massive viewership exceeding 120 million. The footage, taken during Coldplay’s Spheres World Tour at Gillette Stadium, shows Byron and Cabot appearing nervous and attempting to hide from the camera, sparking widespread speculation about an affair that ultimately led to Byron's resignation and an internal review. Springer explained that she initially filmed the moment hoping to see herself on the big screen, not anticipating the video’s viral impact or the personal consequences for those involved. While she expressed sympathy for Byron’s wife and family, she noted that if she had not posted the clip, someone else likely would have, given the large audience present. Despite numerous inquiries about earnings from the video, Springer confirmed on the UK’s 'This Morning' that the clip was not monetized, and she has not profited financially. The incident has become a major talking point, reflecting both the power of social media and the real-life effects of viral moments.
