Morgan Wallen Pokes Fun At Viral Coldplay Kiss Cam Incident During Live Concert: 'I Think You're Safe Here'
Morgan Wallen Pokes Fun At Viral Coldplay Kiss Cam Incident During Live Concert: 'I Think You're Safe Here' originally appeared on Parade. As if the Coldplay kiss cam viral moment couldn't get any crazier, Morgan Wallen has now jumped on the bandwagon that has taken the internet by storm. On Friday (July 18) night, during night one of his two-night stint at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the 'I'm The Problem' hitmaker cracked a joke presumably at the expense of a high-ranking CEO at a software company and his employee, who have recently been accused of having an affair. In the middle of his set list, ahead of his performance of 'I'm A Little Crazy,' Wallen could be heard reassuring his fans that while he doesn't support infidelity, he did believe those in attendance who were being romantically unfaithful wouldn't have to worry about getting caught. 'If there's anybody here with their side chick or whatever, I think, I think you're safe here,' Wallen told the crowd with a half smile as shown in a fan video, posted on TikTok. 'I don't condone cheating anymore.' 'Morgan Wallen didn't name names, but we know exactly who he meant,' one person captioned a clip, shared on TikTok, likely pointing to Andy Byron, CEO of the software company Astronomer, and his presumed co-worker Kristin Cabo's kiss cam moment earlier this month at Gillette Stadium during Coldplay's concert. Wallen's comment comes after a video surfaced online featuring a man and woman on a Jumbotron at Coldplay's concert on Wednesday (July 16) in Foxborough, Mass. The two appeared to be enjoying a warm, romantic embrace, but quickly pulled away from one another and hid their faces once they realized they were being captured on video. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin said, calling out the individual's 'sheepish' reaction during the moment, which resulted in laughs from the audience. That clip has since gone viral after making the rounds on social media. Wallen is the latest country artist to comment on the viral moment following Luke Bryan, who made a quip during his concert at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, on Thursday (July 17). "Who's here with their secretary tonight?" Bryan joked per a TikTok video, alluding to the situation. "It's gotta be someone way up there… Oh, yeah! There they are. Do not get caught tonight!"

Oasis' Liam Gallagher takes aim at Coldplay after kiss cam scandal
Oasis have declared their shows are a safe place for cheaters. The UK band's frontman Liam Gallagher addressed the Coldplay kiss cam scandal at his Manchester concert this week, asking the crowd if there were 'any lovebirds in the house?' 'Don't worry, we don't got any of that Coldplay snidey f**king camera shit,' the 52-year-old said. 'Doesn't matter to us who you're f**king mingling with, tingling with. None of our f**king business.' He continued, 'This one's for the lovebirds anyway', before the opening chords of Slide Away began. It comes as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has been forced to take leave after his alleged affair with the firm's chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot, was caught on Coldplay's jumbotron at the band's Boston show on Wednesday. Astronomer said in a statement on Friday that Byron was placed on leave and that Pete DeJoy, co-founder and chief product officer, would serve as interim CEO. 'We will share more details as appropriate in the coming days,' the company said in a statement on X. Earlier, the company confirmed it launched an investigation into the matter. In the viral video, the couple scrambled to hide their faces when an image of them getting cosy appeared on the big screen at Gillette Stadium. As the camera zoned in on the cuddling pair, Cabot quickly covered her face and turned in the opposite direction, while Byron ducked behind a barricade. 'Oh, what?' frontman Chris Martin responded to the scenes while onstage. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' he added. Per the official Astronomer website, the pair worked together at the AI and data company valued at an estimated $US1.2 billion. Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, reportedly removed his last name from her Facebook page shortly after the scandal went public, and later deleted her account entirely. Meanwhile, reports suggest Cabot is married to the CEO of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based liquor brand. According to property records obtained by the New York Post, Cabot has shared a New Hampshire address with Andrew Cabot since at least 2023.

The radio host said on the Jonesy & Amanda show this week that she has empathy for Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who was caught cuddling the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay gig last week. 'How would you feel if you were constantly defined by the worst mistake you'd ever made?' the 63-year-old said. 'And these people up on this big screen have families. What a huge mistake they've made.' Keller slammed the social media response as 'hyenas picking at the bones'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop.

'Imagine if you had a humiliating moment - it doesn't have to be an affair- and it suddenly becomes viral and you lose everything'. Keller said that there were different ways of looking at the controversial moment, other than the mockery that has erupted online. 'It's interesting because there's a couple of ways of looking at this. It's united the whole world in the glee that we've all felt at this situation' she added. It comes after news that Andy Byron has resigned in disgrace amid an investigation into the scandal. Byron, 50, who was spotted on camera at the concert with his arms wrapped around Cabot, stepped down after being placed on leave on Friday.

'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.' Byron and Cabot were caught red-faced as the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert in Boston panned to the CEO with his arms wrapped around his subordinate on Tuesday. The pair immediately ducked and turned from the cameras after realising their faces were on the big screen.

Radio star Ben Fordham shares his controversial stance on the Coldplay 'kiss cam' scandal: 'I met my wife at work'
Ben Fordham has taken a unique stance on the so-called Coldplay 'kiss cam' scandal that saw a US businessman stepping out on his wife with a work college. Despite the now notorious incident putting the idea of the 'office romance' under a cloud, Fordham appeared to want to stick up for folks who find love in the workplace. 'What about all the people that have fallen in love and are still together, and if it wasn't for their workplace romance, they wouldn't have met The One?' he said during his 2GB morning show on Monday. Fordham's view is a fresh take on the scandal which saw Astronomer CEO Andy Byron caught cuddling the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay gig last week. The incident has become a cultural event that has set the online world alight with outrage - and humorous memes. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. But Fordham revealed that he had skin in the game in that he met his wife Jodie Speers after the pair shared an office romance. 'It was fishing off the company wharf,' he joked, in an interview with 9Honey, 'and there's nothing wrong with that.' 'There are some businesses where if you do it, you'll get the sack, so just be careful, but there's no formal rule in our workplace.' He continued: 'I know a lot of people find it hard to comprehend if they're a little younger, but I think people who are a little older know these things happen. 'To some people I've worked with over the years ... if it wasn't for workplace relationships, [they] would never have been able to kiss a girl.' Fordham tied the know with wife Jodie in 2011 and the pair now share three children. It comes after Larry Emdur weighed in with his own special take on the 'kisscam' scandal. The Gold Logie winner, 60, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a photo that showed him getting up close and personal with one of his colleagues. It was all in good fun, though, as Larry was merely recreating the viral footage of billionaire tech CEO Andrew Byron and his HR chief Kristin Cabot. The affable TV veteran shared a side-by-side photo that showed the viral moment next to Larry looking very comfortable with the Sunrise Cash Cow. Larry, playing the part of the HR exec with aplomb, looked chuffed to be in the company of his bovine belle, who lovingly wrapped her hooves around the presenter's chest. Larry captioned the hilarious photo with a sincere apology to his wife of 30 years writing, 'Sorry, Sylvie x.' The post was met with a flurry of laughing face emojis, with many praising the former Price Is Right host's sense of comic timing. Larry's cheeky posts comes after Andrew Byron, the head of the AI startup Astronomer, was broadcast on the big screen at Boston's Gillette Stadium with his arm around the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot. They rapidly covered their faces, with Byron diving out of view and Cabot turning her back to the camera. But despite their efforts to avoid the limelight, their apparent awkwardness caught the attention of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. 'Oh look at these two!' the singer said mischievously as they spun around. 'Oh what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' Public records suggest both Byron, 50, and Cabot, 56, are married - but that they live at different addresses to each of their spouses' registered abodes. The clip instantly went viral, racking up almost six million views on TikTok, as fans flew into a frenzy at the uncomfortable moment.
