Grace Springer is revealing herself as the face behind the viral video.
Nearly a week after she posted a video of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and an unidentified woman breaking from their close embrace and hiding from the camera after being featured on the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert in Massachusetts, the 28-year-old shared insight into how she’s benefitted from the viral moment.
“I’ve actually made no money from the video itself or the views,” Springer told hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary on the July 21 episode of “This Morning.” “It’s not monetized.”
After all, she was only recording the moment because she was hoping to be featured on the jumbotron herself — along with the thousands of other fans at Gillette Stadium that night.
“I was hoping to see myself on the big screen, and I love to capture moments, so that’s why my phone was out in the first place,” she explained. “In the moment when I filmed it, I didn’t think much of it, but of course, everyone was kind of chattering.”
And while she never expected her TikTok clip to lead to allegations that the CEO of a DataOps platform was having an affair with one of his fellow employees, she admitted that she doesn’t regret capturing the controversial moment.
After all, while she sympathizes with Byron’s loved ones and “everyone else who has been hurt in the process,” she emphasized, “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.”

As for how the executive has been navigating all the public attention? Well, just days after his concert outing made headlines, Byron resigned from his position at Astronomer.
“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” the company wrote in a July 19 statement to E! News. “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.”
“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,” the statement continued. “The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
