On an unforgettable night at Gillette Stadium in Boston, Coldplay’s "Music of the Spheres" tour took an emotional turn from headline-making kiss cams to an impromptu serenade featuring two fans from halfway across the globe. While most eyes were on the viral moment featuring tech executives caught in a compromising embrace, it was a young engaged couple from Mumbai who added warmth and sincerity to the Coldplay narrative.
Holding a sign that read, “Just engaged, can we sing Magic together?”, the Indian duo caught the eye of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. What followed wasn’t just a performance, but a heartfelt exchange that would travel far beyond the stadium walls.
From Mumbai to Massachusetts: A Love Note in a Song
Chris Martin, known for his crowd connection, paused mid-show to welcome the couple on stage. What began as an exciting proposal to share a microphone soon turned into a wholesome stage moment. Martin first joked with them, asking twice if they were truly engaged "to each other," drawing laughs from the crowd.
Then came the mix-up that launched a thousand comments. In his usual playful style, Martin welcomed the couple by saying, “Welcome to Canada.” Realizing the slip, he quickly corrected himself, muttering, “Oh no, we’re not in Canada. Sorry.” With a self-deprecating smile, he added, “We’re in America, where it’s slightly more complicated,” cracking an immigration joke that was met with roars of laughter.
Martin, clearly mortified but still in good humor, quipped that it was his first such mistake in 26 years. “Please, for the love of God, don’t put that on YouTube,” he pleaded jokingly, fully aware the clip was already making its way online. Of course, the moment did end up on YouTube — and became an instant fan favorite.
A Concert of Contrasts
The adorable engagement moment was a welcome distraction from another incident that had already overshadowed the Boston concert. Just before the Mumbai couple took the stage, the stadium screens had caught Andy Byron, CEO of the $1.3 billion company Astronomer, in a seemingly intimate moment with his colleague Kristin Cabot. Their uncomfortable reaction to the Kiss Cam — hiding their faces and avoiding the spotlight — quickly spiraled into a viral controversy.
Social media users soon linked Byron to his wife, educator Megan Kerrigan Byron, and speculated on their relationship status after noticing changes to her Facebook name. The gossip mill spun further, but no official statement was released by the company or the individuals involved.
