Morgan Wallen isnโt afraid to poke fun at pop culture buzz โ and he did just that during his recent concert in Glendale, Arizona.
The country star, 32, playfully addressed the now-viral Coldplay concert scandal involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR executive Kristin Cabot, assuring fans they were โsafeโ from any surprise exposure.
Morgan Wallen Reacts to Coldplay Concert Cheating Scandal On Stage
โAnybody in here with their side chick or whatever, I think youโre safe here,โ Wallen told the crowd in a video shared to TikTok. The clip was captioned, โ@morganwallen is truly just one of the boys ๐๐ค๐ป.โ
The “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” singer followed up with a cheeky quip: โI donโt condone cheating โฆ anymore,โ which was met with roaring applause and cheers from the audience.
Fans quickly flooded the comments section with support. โWe like an honest king,โ one user wrote. Another added, โI love the honesty. He isnโt ashamed of his past mistakes. Love him.โ
Wallenโs remarks came just days after Coldplay front man Chris Martin accidentally exposed Byron and Cabotโs alleged affair during a kiss cam moment that quickly went viral.
Coldplayโs Kiss Cam Sparks Scandal
The drama unfolded during Coldplayโs July 17 concert in Boston. During a lighthearted kiss cam segment, the camera landed on a suite where Byron had his arms wrapped around Cabot. As their images appeared on the big screen, the pair appeared stunned and quickly tried to hide from view.
โWhoa, look at these two,โ Martin said from the stage. โEither theyโre having an affair or theyโre just very shy.โ
Once the clip went viral, internet sleuths quickly discovered that both Byron and Cabot are married to other people. Byronโs wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, reportedly dropped his last name from her Facebook profile before deleting her account entirely, Per Page Six. Meanwhile, Cabot is married to Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot.
According to CNBC, Byron has resigned from his role at Astronomer since the footage surfaced. The scandal has continued to dominate headlines, prompting conversations around workplace ethics and public exposure in the age of viral videos.
Martin later addressed the incident during a subsequent Coldplay concert in Madison, Wisconsin. โPlease, if you havenโt done your makeup, do your makeup now,โ he joked before starting another round of kiss cam moments.
Wallenโs humorous take on the situation landed well with fans and served as a reminder that a little self-awareness โ and perfect timing โ goes a long way in the internet era.
