The pop world’s sneakiest camera

The now-famous kiss cam at Coldplay’s concerts has become a viral tradition. What began as a fun way to add romance to their shows has turned into a global spectacle that sparks laughter, curiosity… or scandal. Just weeks ago, the camera exposed Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, in the middle of an affair. But this time, the target was someone very different.

Messi, caught at the perfect moment

During Coldplay’s concert at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, the camera suddenly zoomed in on a private suite where Lionel Messi and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were seated. The crowd noticed immediately and burst into applause. The couple, as usual, appeared shy but sweetly in sync. And just when it seemed like the moment would pass, came the surprise.

Chris Martin, the band’s frontman, paused the music and spoke directly to the World Cup champion:

“Tonight, the greatest athlete of all time came to see us.”

The stadium exploded. Thousands chanted “¡Messi, Messi!” as the Argentine smiled from his seat—grateful, but clearly not looking to steal the spotlight. Though once again… it was inevitable.

A legend on and off the pitch

Messi isn’t just the face of Inter Miami and the Argentina national team—he’s a global cultural icon. Every public appearance creates a stir, and this one was no exception. His moment at the concert quickly went viral on social media, and the romantic shot with Antonela was celebrated by fans worldwide.

As always: he came to watch a show… and ended up being the show.
