Grace Springer: Coldplay fan who recorded infamous Astronomer CEO footage reveals how much money clip made

The cool-handed fan behind the infamous Coldplay kiss cam footage has admitted she’s made absolutely no money from the viral clip.

Appearing on the UK’s This Morning, New Jersey resident Grace Springer detailed the fall out from the headline-making show and offered her perspective of events.

Asked if she had a financial agenda for posting the footage, Ms Springer said she was not aware of the people framed in the clip, nor did she set out to profit from it.

“I’ve actually made no money from the video itself or the views. Not monetised,” she revealed.

The footage features then-CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron, caught out embracing HR executive Kristin Cabot on the jumbotron as a camera panned the Massachusetts crowd last week.

However, with the pair married to other people, they quickly disentangled and escaped view — resulting in an outed affair, fake company statements, and endless internet memes.

Mr Byron resigned as CEO earlier this week.

The incident was noted by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in the moment, who teased, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy”.

Ms Springer was asked if she felt guilty about the impact the footage has had on the families of those involved, and the company itself.

“I definitely feel for Andy’s wife, Megan, and his family and everyone else who’s been hurt in the process. But as I said, there was over 50,000 people, and I’m not the only one that caught it on camera,” she said,

“So if it wasn’t me who uploaded it, I’m sure someone else would have.”

The Coldplay fan admitted the reason her phone was fixed on the mammoth screen was to capture a potential glimpse of herself, and she was certainly not expecting to reel in anything untoward.

Ms Springer told the hosts that the ensuing incident was a “hot topic” among concertgoers at the time, but aside from that, she “didn’t think much of it”.

“It wasn’t until after the concert, where I was debriefing the moment with my friends, and I said, ‘Let’s review the footage. Let’s see if it really looks that bad’. And I think it does,” she added.

At Coldplay’s latest concert on Sunday night, the lead singer offered fans a cheeky pre-amble so as to not repeat such controversy.

“We’d like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,” Martin began, slowly strumming his guitar while pictured on the jumbotron.

“How we’re gonna do that.... is we’re gonna use our cameras.... and put some of you on the big screen.

“So please, if you haven’t done your make up, do you your make up now.”
