Country music stars have been making it a point to poke fun at the “Coldplay” kiss-cam scandal during their performances recently.
Andy Byron, the CEO of Astronomer who was caught in an embrace at a Coldplay concert with the company’s chief people officer Kristin Cabot, has resigned his position.
The Internet has created more memes than one can count.
And country music performers have gotten in on the fun.
Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean all made references to a the Coldplay concert, where a couple was shown on the big screen. They were cuddling and smiling, Byron’s arms wrapped around her, as she leaned back into him. When they saw themselves on the big screen, her jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera. He ducked out of the frame, as did she.
On Friday in Arizona, Wallen told concertgoers, “Anybody in here with their side chick or whatever, I think you’re safe here,” as the fans began to cheer.
He added, “I don’t condone cheating, anymore.”
Aldean posted the following to his Instagram story: “Bring your girl to the Aldean show before her CEO does. Just saying.”
Bryan, meanwhile, on Thursday night, asked his crowd if anyone had their “secretary” with them at his concert.
