A viral TikTok video from a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium on July 16, 2025, has thrust Kristin Cabot, Chief People Officer at Astronomer, into the spotlight. In the clip, she appears with CEO Andy Byron in an intimate pose during a kiss cam segment. As the camera zoomed in, both reacted awkwardly—Cabot hid her face while Byron ducked—prompting Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to comment, *”Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”*

The moment sparked widespread speculation online, especially after Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, deleted her social media accounts and removed “Byron” from her name.

Cabot, a respected HR leader with past roles at Neo4j, had described her leadership style as grounded in empathy: *“There are connections that can be made with everyone.”* She’s also known for her Maine roots and love of heavy metal.

Though her LinkedIn is now deactivated, Cabot had recently expressed excitement about growing Astronomer’s team, saying, *“I lead by example and win trust.”*

Despite the viral attention, Cabot appears to be staying focused on her career, while the internet continues to speculate about what really happened behind that awkward kiss cam moment.
