She’s doing it for free.
The Coldplay fan who unintentionally exposed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s alleged affair with Kristin Cabot hasn’t made a dime from the now-viral kiss cam video.
“I’ve actually made no money from the video itself or the views,” Grace Springer revealed to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary on Monday’s episode of the UK’s “This Morning.”
“It’s not monetized,” she explained.

Springer also explained how she managed to capture such a life-changing moment, saying she
“was hoping to see [herself] on the big screen” because she loves “to capture moments.”
“In the moment when I filmed it, I didn’t think much of it, but of course, everyone was kind of chattering. There was over 50,000 people at the concert, so it was a hot topic,” she added, referencing the band’s Spheres World Tour show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., July 16.
“But it wasn’t until after the concert, where I was debriefing 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.”
The New Jersey native further addressed whether she has any regrets about posting the video online as it boasts more than 122 million views in less than a week.

“I definitely feel for Andy’s wife Megan, his family and everyone else who has been hurt in the process,” she said. “But as I said, there was over 50,000 people and I’m not the only one that caught it on camera, so if it wasn’t me who uploaded it, I’m sure someone else would have.”
Her statement echoed what she told the Sun last week when asked about turning Byron and Cabot’s “lives upside down.”
“I had no idea who the couple was. Just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it,” she said. “A part of me feels bad for turning these people’s lives upside down, but, play stupid games … win stupid prizes.
“I hope their partners can heal from this and get a second chance at the happiness they deserve with their future still in front of them,” she continued. “I hope, for them, my video was a blessing in disguise.”

Last week, Springer’s video went viral when she captured a loved-up couple being featured on the kiss cam during Coldplay’s concert. When the man and the woman noticed they were being recorded on the big screen, they jumped away from each other and attempted to hide their faces.
Frontman Chris Martin reacted to their strange behavior by saying into the mic, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
The embarrassed musician then added, “Hope we didn’t do something wrong.”
The two were identified as Astronomer’s CEO and head of HR, who appear to be married to other people.

Shortly after the video began circling social media, Andy’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, changed her name on Facebook before deactivating her account. Kristin, for her part, appears to be married to the CEO of Privateer Rum, Andrew Cabot.
Astronomer immediately launched a formal investigation into Kristin’s alleged affair with her boss and they were put on leave.
However, this weekend, the company announced that Andy had resigned from his role due to the scandal.
“As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” a rep for the tech company told Page Six Saturday.

“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,” the spokesperson added.
Co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy was subsequently named as Astronomer’s interim CEO.
Martin, for his part, learned from the fiasco and warned attendees that they might be featured on the kiss cam at his concert at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wis., Saturday.
