Grammy-nominated country singer Morgan Wallen has jumped into the public pile-on of that Coldplay \u201ccouple\u201d<\/a> with a shout-out to cheaters at a concert in Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s anybody here with their side chick or whatever, I think, I think you\u2019re safe here,\u201d Wallen said with a smile to his audience at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, as seen in a video posted to TikTok<\/a>. \u201dI don\u2019t condone cheating\u2026 anymore.”<\/p>\n

The comments drew both applause and laughter as the audience clearly understood that the \u201cLast Night\u201d singer was referencing the now-viral kiss cam<\/a> at a Coldplay concert outside Boston that unwittingly exposed a canoodling couple who just happened to be co-workers\u2014and both married to other people.<\/p>\n

When the couple realized they were being featured on a Jumbotron screen, they looked horrified as they ducked for cover. It only took a moment for lead singer Chris Martin to suspect that they might be \u201chaving an affair.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair was quickly identified as Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, CEO and HR Chief, respectively, at the software company Astronomer. Byron has since resigned, while the internet has gone wild with parodies and memes.<\/p>\n

However, the so-called \u201cbad boy of country\u201d is perhaps not the man to be ridiculing the ethics of others. In 2021, he was filmed using the N-word during a night out with friends. He subsequently apologized and made a $300,000 donation to the Black Music Action Coalition, but his music was temporarily removed from streaming services.<\/p>\n

As Wallen alluded to jokingly in his riff, he is also no stranger to accusations of infidelity. In 2019, he separated from his fianc\u00e9e over allegations<\/a> that he had cheated on her. Their son, Indigo, was born in 2020.<\/p>\n

While Wallen may not be a model monogamist, it\u2019s safe to say that if Byron and Cabot had been fans of American country music rather than British indie-pop, they would probably still be, in Wallen\u2019s words, \u201csafe.\u201d<\/p>\n
