Watch: Luke Bryan Makes Cheeky Joke at Concert After Coldplay‘s Viral Fan Cam Video

Luke Bryan doesn't want this viral moment to end.

The "Drunk on You" singer hilariously tried to replicate Coldplay frontman Chris Martin's viral moment in which he joked that a couple caught on the big screen during a recent concert in Boston was "having an affair" due to their reticence at being on camera.

While performing at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, July 17, Luke told the crowd that the cameras were going to turn their attention onto them.

"Who's here with their secretary tonight?" the American Idol judge asked the audience sarcastically, alluding online to speculation about the duo from the Coldplay concert, whose identities NBC News has not confirmed. "It's gotta be someone way up there that's, uh...yeah."

"Oh, yeah! There they are," Luke added as he pointed up to the top of the arena and played around on the piano. "Do not get caught tonight!"

The country star's joke came hours after the initial footage from Coldplay's Boston show went viral.

In the video, a "Fan Cam" landed on a man lovingly hugging a woman from behind. When they realized that they were on the big screen, the woman buried her head in her hands and turned away from the camera as the man crouched down out of view.

"Whoa, look at these two. Alright, come on. You’re OK," Chris said as it happened. "Whoa, okay! Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy."

As the camera stayed on the woman with her back turned, the audience started to chuckle and the singer started strumming his guitar.

"I’m not quite sure what to do," he told the crowd. "Oh s--t, I hope we didn't do something bad."

Despite continuing on with the concert as normal, clearly the moment stuck with Chris because, later in the show when the camera yet again landed on a man and a woman in the audience, the singer quipped, "Are you two a legitimate couple?"

Luke Bryan

During his finale performance of "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" at the North Dakota State Fair in 2025, the American Idol judge was pelted with a flying object. However, the musician took it in stride, finishing the song without missing a beat. 

As one fan noted, "Carried on like a champ."

 

Nick Jonas

The Jonas Brothers member had to send out an S.O.S and ask fans to stop throwing things on stage after two bracelets almost hit him at a California stop on the group's tour in 2023. 

Cardi B

In case it wasn't clear, Cardi B does not like it like that. When a front row patron splashed their drink on the performer mid-set at Drai's Beachclub in Las Vegas July 2023, she responded by throwing her microphone

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that an unidentified woman reported a battery case the day after the concert, but noted no arrest or citations have been issued. In August 2023, Cardi's lawyers told TMZ that police informed them no chargers would be filed against the singer.

Bebe Rexha

Baby, Bebe Rexha is gonna have the best f--kin' night of her life no matter what happens. Struck in the face when a man at her June 2023 show in NYC threw a phone, she later posted a photo of her injured eye, writing, "I'm good."

Todd A Spodek, a lawyer for Nicolas Malvagna, who was arrested and charged with assault, told TMZ, "As a fan, Mr. Malvagna's sole intention was to have Ms. Rexha take photos with his phone, and return it as a keepsake. It was never his intention to injure Ms. Rehxa."

Kelsea Ballerini

Kelsea Ballerini didn't find it all that charming when someone tossed jewelry up on stage during a June 2023 performance in Idaho. "Someone threw a bracelet, it hit me in the eyes," she wrote on Instagram Stories days later, "and it more so just scared me than hurt me."

Ava Max

Listen, she's not that sweet. Ava Max had words for the man who assaulted her during an L.A. performance in June 2023. "He slapped me so hard that he scratched the inside of my eye," the "Sweet but Psycho" singer wrote on Twitter. "He's never coming to a show again."

Pink

Pink thought the fan who randomly passed her a wheel of Brie while she was singing at at London's British Summer Time Festival in 2023 was kinda grate. "What the f--k," the musician said, as she reached for the dairy. "I wanna kiss you on the mouth."

But just give us a reason for why another fan tossed a bag of ashes the very next day. "This is your mom?" the "What About Us" singer asked. "I don't know how to feel about this."

Harry Styles

A sign of the times? Harry Styles had to get away from numerous flying objects during his Love on Tour, including, inexplicably, a handful of Skittles at a 2022 show in Los Angeles. A rep for the taste the rainbow brand later tweeted, "Didn't think I needed to say this: Please don't throw Skittles."

Billie Eilish

What a boob. As Billie Eilish sang "Lost Cause" at a February 2022 show, one fan tossed a set of false boobs at her. But proving that she's, uh, breast under pressure, the seven-time Grammy winner flung them back into the crowd and kept going. 

Kid Cudi

Uh, guys, he warned you. Moments after Kid Cudi told the crowd at his 2022 Rolling Loud set, "Yo, I'm going to walk off this stage, if y'all throw one more f--king thing up here, I will leave," he was pegged with yet another object. So he left. 

Ariana Grande

Arianators were left feeling sour after Ariana Grande was beaned with a lemon while headlining Coachella in 2019. And though the singer was definitely not so into it, into it, into it, she brushed off the fruit, telling the crowd, "One of ya'll threw a lemon at me, s--t."
