During a recent concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, a “kiss cam” moment involving two audience members quickly became a talking point on social media. While performing “The Jumbotron Song,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin highlighted a man and woman who were initially cuddling together. Upon realizing they were on the large screen, the couple quickly separated, with the man attempting to hide his face.
Martin humorously commented on the situation, saying, “Whoa, look at these two. Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” The identities of the couple remain unverified, but the incident has generated a flurry of questions online about their relationship status. In light of the growing interest, CNN has reached out to a representative for Coldplay to provide clarification.
History of Awkward Kiss Cam Moments
This incident is not the first time a kiss cam has led to an awkward or humorous exchange. In October 2022, during a concert in Sydney, Australia, singer Olivia Rodrigo asked a couple in the audience to “give us a kiss on the Shots Cam.” The male audience member responded with surprise, revealing that the woman next to him was actually his sister. “She’s your sister? Oh s**t! Oh s**t,” Rodrigo exclaimed, quickly backtracking to avoid further embarrassment. The moment was captured and shared by the man, Tom Santo, on TikTok, where he humorously addressed the situation in the caption.
Another notable incident occurred in 2017 during a Milwaukee Bucks basketball game, where an attendee had to silently clarify to the camera that the woman beside him was his mother. This caused visible discomfort as the woman appeared less than pleased with the situation.
These moments serve as reminders that while “kiss cam” interactions may be fleeting, their impact can resonate long after the event, especially in the age of social media where such clips can be shared widely and rapidly.
As Coldplay continues its tour, fans can expect more memorable moments both on and off stage, although some might hope to avoid the awkwardness that often accompanies kiss cam appearances.
