The Coldplay fan who accidentally exposed a tech tycoon’s apparent affair with his head-of-HR mistress had a blunt message for the canoodling pair: “Play stupid games… win stupid prizes.”
Grace Springer, 28, filmed the now-viral moment Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, were busted on a “kiss cam” embracing at the band’s Boston concert Wednesday night.
The Coldplay megafan told the US Sun she had no idea she was about to unleash a firestorm when she posted the clip, which has since racked up more than 49 million views on her TikTok.
“I had no idea who the couple was. Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it,” she said.
“A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but, play stupid games… win stupid prizes.”
The awkward video showed Byron and Cabot scrambling to hide their faces after the jumbotron suddenly panned to them during the concert.

As Cabot flung her hands over her face and Byron ducked down out of view, frontman Chris Martin quipped, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
As the clip exploded on social media, it quickly emerged Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, while Cabot recently divorced her husband, Kenneth Thornby.
“I hope their partners can heal from this and get a second chance at the happiness they deserve with their future still in front of them,” Springer said.
“I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise.”
