Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot have become the latest internet sensations after being caught in a moment of apparent betrayal at a Coldplay concert.
The incident went viral following their awkward reaction when a camera captured them at a concert in Boston, USA: he hid, and she turned her back.
“Look at these two,” said Chris Martin, the band’s lead singer, as the couple appeared on the big screen.
It was at this moment that Byron and Cabot looked at each other. Observing the unusual reaction, Chris Martin commented, “Either they are having an affair, or they are very shy.”
Martin was not the only one to find the situation odd, and the video quickly went viral across social media, sparking comments from millions. Amid the wave of memes created by countless users, some brands also couldn’t resist weighing in. See below:
