Morgan Wallen has reacted to the viral Coldplay Kisscam scandal, and the country singer is throwing shade at Coldplay and Andy Byron. The "I Had Some Help" crooner held a concert in Glendale, Arizona, and while he did not call out Coldplay by name or directly address the moment, fans and media deduced what he meant when he called out to the crowd:

“Anybody in here with their side chick or whatever, I think you're safe here.”

As the concertgoers began to cheer, the singer added that he didn’t condone cheating:

"I don't condone cheating anymore."

What is the Coldplay kiss cam scandal involving Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot?

During Coldplay’s July 16, 2025, concert at the Gillette Stadium in Boston, what was meant to be a romantic kiss cam moment revealed infidelity as Andy Byron, CEO of AI company Astronomer, was caught in an embrace with the company’s equally married Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot.

The couple looked uncomfortable as they appeared on the Kiss Cam, and Byron ducked behind a barrier. Cabot hid her face as she walked away from the scene. Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin, then quipped from the stage:

“Oh, what, either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”

The viral video resulted in heavy backlash, and Astronomer released a statement on July 18, 2025, stating that they had launched a formal investigation into the matter and that Byron had been placed on “administrative leave.”

The company added:

"Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI," the company said in its Saturday statement. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met."

It would seem that Astronomer’s investigation is complete as they released a statement on July 19, 2025, that the CEO had resigned:

"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."
