A heartwarming moment from Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts is now winning hearts across the internet — and this time, it’s not about the viral ‘kiss cam’ drama that rocked social media. Just after the infamous clip featuring tech executives Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot sparked controversy, a new video emerged showing a more wholesome scene: a recently engaged Indian couple singing Magic live on stage with frontman Chris Martin.
The video, posted on YouTube, shows the couple from Mumbai holding up a handmade sign that reads, “Just engaged, can we sing Magic together?” The gesture caught Martin’s eye. “That’s one of the best signs I’ve seen in the world,” he said, inviting the duo on stage to raucous cheers from the crowd.
In a playful moment, Martin asked, “Are you engaged to each other?” When they confirmed, he responded with a cheeky, “That’s better, we don’t need any surprises,” referring to the earlier viral moment involving the executives. He then asked the couple where they were from, and upon hearing “Mumbai,” Martin joyfully launched into the track Magic, even customizing lyrics to include their names.
Chris Martin charms crowd with quick wit after mix-up
The singer briefly fumbled during his interaction, welcoming the couple by saying, “Welcome to Canada,” before quickly correcting himself and making light of the situation with his usual wit. The clip ends with Martin giving the couple a warm hug, and the crowd applauding the wholesome moment.
The video caption reads, “With fans on stage from Mumbai. Chris Martin momentarily forgets which country he is in! (but more than makes it up to the crowd).”
ColdplayGate: The viral CEO kiss cam moment still trending
The engagement moment came just after the crowd had witnessed a controversial scene: Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s HR head Kristin Cabot appearing on the stadium’s kiss cam. The two were seen cuddling before visibly trying to avoid being filmed. The video went viral, prompting online sleuthing into their personal lives.
Social media users noted that Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, had dropped “Byron” from her surname on Facebook shortly after the incident. Meanwhile, Kristin Cabot had finalized her divorce from Kenneth Thornby in 2022. The incident, dubbed “ColdplayGate,” continues to stir conversations online.
