On Saturday night's performance at the Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, Chris said: "We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd.
"We're gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.
"So please, if you haven't done your make-up, do your make-up now."
But the warning was clearly a nod to the alleged cheating exposed at the Gillete Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts earlier in the week.
Crowds members laughed and whooped at his words, revelling in the saga which has gripped the internet for the best part of a week.
The lead singer's jibe was not the only reference to the scandal.
One concert-goer brandished a large sign declaring: "HE'S NOT MY CEO," with an arrow pointing to the man next to her.
Since getting caught red-handed, Andy Byron has resigned as Astronomer's CEO, according to an update from the company.
He had held the position since July 2023.
A statement from the firm said: "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.

"Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO."
Panicked Byron and Cabot - who both have families of their own - were seen rushing for cover after being left red-faced in the packed stadium.
Their reaction to being filmed has caught the world's attention - with millions now talking about the alleged affair.
And more footage captured from behind their seats, obtained by TMZ, shows the pair silhouetted by stage lights as Coldplay performed 'Yellow'.
Chris Martin, Coldplay's frontman, commented live on stage: 'They're either having an affair… or they're very shy.'

Seconds later, Byron dropped his arm and ducked behind a barrier while Cabot covered her face.
As he caught view of himself, Byron appeared to say "f****** hell, it's me".
Martin added, laughing nervously: 'Oh s***, I hope we didn't do something bad.'
A night later, Martin cracked a joke with another couple on the kiss cam after accidentally catching the tech boss allegedly cheating with his HR chief.
The fan who captured the original kiss cam moment told The U.S. Sun she had no idea the couple were senior tech executives.
She said: 'I just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it. A part of me feels bad… but, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.'
Even longer footage has since dropped, showing the full reaction of panicked "mistress" Kristin Cabot.
Further revelations have since emerged claiming Cabot is still married to another powerful CEO.
Property records obtained by the Daily Mail from earlier this year list the couple as "husband and wife".

It is located just around the corner from Jason Sudeiki's character Ted's on screen flat and boasts an impressive amount of space. It's also just a few steps away from the local pub seen in the TV series which follows an American football coach hired to train an English "soccer" team. The Crown & Anchor Pub in the Apple TV comedy, known as The Prince's Head Pub in real life, is just a stones throw from the front door. Located right on Richmond Green, which also featured heavily in Ted Lasso, the home boasts easy access to a community space where cricket games are played on Sundays. Located in the centre of the area where the Emmy winning show was filmed, the town house featured heavily as a set piece on the show. It boasts easy access to dozens of filming locations and is conveniently located near some of Ted's favourite on screen haunts. It dates back to the 18th century and still has much of the original architecture intact. Savills property agent Peter Norgrove said the famous property is a: "Fabulous example of Georgian architecture and craftsmanship.

Author reveals the amount Gwyneth Paltrow may have got for Astronomer ad after the viral kiss-cam saga
Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in tech company Astronomer's social media pages in the role of the company's temporary 'spokesperson' after the 'affair' saga involving two of its employees' viral kiss-cam moment at her ex-husband's Coldplay concert. The actress's unauthorized biographer Amy Odell weighed in on how much the Goop founder could have earned for the publicity stunt. Amy, whose book Gwyneth: The Biography scheduled for stores on July 29, used Instagram on Saturday to speculate on the star's payout, based on what she's pocketed from past partnerships. In a video, Amy said: 'I just wrote a book about Gwyneth Paltrow. I have exclusive information about what she's earned from past endorsement deals.' The writer noted that Gwyneth made a cameo 'at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia for a total of $1.6million', and 'attended a launch party for SKIMS in late 2023 to promote the brand's Swarovski collaboration for $250,000'. Amy said: 'Gwyneth had a bigger deal with Swarovski where she would earn $1.25million in exchange for wearing [the brand] a certain number of times. She also received millions for endorsing other brands, like Copper Fit.' Regarding the Astronomer stint, the biographer teased in her Instagram reel: 'What do you think Gwyneth earned for this? My guess as her biographer is: a LOT. 'Get my Gwyneth book at the link in bio.' Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron was caught canoodling with his company's Head of Human Resources Kristin Cabot at the Coldplay event on July 16, and the kiss-cam caused a social media frenzy due to their embarrassed reaction. At the time during his band's concert, Chris Martin called out the couple as either 'having an affair' or being 'very shy'. Both Kristin and Andy quit their jobs as a result of the scandal. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amy Odell (@instamyodell) Nothing to it: The writer said Gwyneth received millions of dollars for endorsing brands and past partnerships Gwyneth's involvement on Astronomer's LinkedIn page and other platforms served as a hilarious PR-crisis move by the company. The actress was seen on screen in a blue shirt as corporate music played in the background, and she said: 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. 'I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer. 'Astronomer has got a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.' Upshot: Kristin resigned from Astronomer just a few days after Andy stepped down as CEO Friendly exes: Gwyneth and Chris were married for over a decade and had two children together before they 'consciously uncoupled' in 2014 The screen shifted to various questions, and started with 'Q: OMG! What the actual f***?' before it abruptly cut off just as Gwyneth reappeared on screen. The actress continued: 'Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow.' She then leaned into the irony of the moment: 'We've been thrilled to see so many people suddenly interested in data workflow automation.' Then, just before the nearly one-minute clip cut back to the on-screen questionnaire, she said: 'As for the other questions we've received…' 'Q: How is your social media team holding...' the next query began, before the screen panned back to Gwyneth, who offered another comedic response. She said: 'Yes! There is still space available at our Beyond Analytics event this September! 'And now, we'll return to doing what we do best... delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.'

Terrifying moment tourists scream as fighter jet performs nail-biting low passes and aerobatics over Spanish beach
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the terrifying moment tourists screamed in horror as a fighter jet skimmed frighteningly close to a packed Spanish beach. Shocking footage shows a Spanish Air Force EF-18 Hornet roaring over San Lorenzo Beach, its nose diving towards the sea before pulling up just metres from sunbathers. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A fighter jet skimmed terrifyingly close to a packed Spanish beach, leaving tourists screaming in horror Credit: X 5 A Spanish Air Force EF-18 Hornet was seen roaring over San Lorenzo Beach Credit: X 5 Crowds of tourists can be seen filming the incident on their phones Credit: X The combat aircraft, spewing puffs of black smoke, is seen flipping upside down in the sky before swooping so low it appears to almost graze the sand. Holidaymakers lounging on the beach can be seen grabbing their phones to film the heart-stopping stunt, with several screaming in shock as the jet thundered overhead. In another clip, groups of spectators watching from a nearby hill can be heard raising their voices in alarm as the supersonic beast tore through the air. The hair-raising display took place during the nineteenth edition of the Gijón Air Festival, held on Sunday over San Lorenzo Bay in Asturias. Around 250,000 people flock to the annual event, which has been wowing crowds since 2006 and is considered one of Spain's biggest aeronautical spectacles. After its perilous near-miss, the fighter jet continued its flight away from the crowded shoreline, leaving shaken tourists staring in disbelief. But online, viewers were divided over whether the death-defying maneuver was intentional — or a risky slip-up. 'Very risky maneuver... is that allowed?' one user asked on TikTok. Another on Reddit suggested: 'For me it looked like he lost too much height during the roll and pulled up too hard, making him lose a lot of speed, unintentionally. 'Could be the perspective, too.' Shock moment beachgoers surrounded by smoke as raging wildfires in Italian hols hotspot Others, however, were left awestruck. One thrilled festival-goer declared: 'I witnessed that live and it was one of the best things I've seen in a long time.' It comes as terrified beachgoers in Sardinia were forced to flee when a raging wildfire tore across the popular Punta Molentis coastline. Holidaymakers dropped towels and sunbeds as smoke engulfed the golden sand, with flames creeping right up to the water's edge in the blistering 34C heat. More than 100 people had to be rescued by sea after escape routes were cut off, while firefighters battled the inferno with Canadair water bombers, helicopters and even an Italian Air Force aircraft. Cars parked by the shore were left reduced to twisted metal after the blaze ripped through a beach parking area, torching around 200 vehicles and a kiosk. Local media said a 'jewel' of the Sarrabus coast had been destroyed, with footage showing families scrambling to safety as thick plumes of grey and black smoke filled the sky. The Sardinia fire is the latest in a series of Mediterranean infernos, with Turkey enduring a deadly 50C heatwave that has already claimed four lives and forced 3,500 people to evacuate. Greece has also been ravaged, with wildfires sweeping villages near Athens and scorching parts of the Aegean islands after a week-long heatwave pushed temperatures beyond 45C. A blaze even tore through a northern suburb of Athens at the weekend, forcing panicked residents to flee their homes. 5 The combat aircraft was seen spewing puffs of black smoke Credit: X
