Ed Sheeran made an appearance in the premiere of HBO’s hit series, Game of Thrones. And even though it’s not too much of a spoiler since every GoT fan knew it was going to happen from back when the announcement happened at SXSW. Hell, Spoiler Accounts spilled the beans way back in March.
Ed Sheeran will make an appearance in S7, according to Benioff. Was invited as a surprise for Maisie. #SXSW #GameOfThrones

So now that the directors had a two-time Grammy award winner, how did they decide to seamlessly integrate him into such a prestigious show? They had him sing. Arya even complimented him on it, to which Sheeran jokingly replied, “It’s new.”
Initially written by Symon Silver Tongue to blackmail Tyrion Lannister, is as follows:
He rode through the streets of the city,
down from his hill on high, O’er the wynds and the steps and the cobbles,
he rode to a woman’s sigh.
For she was his secret treasure,
she was his shame and his bliss.
And a chain and a keep are nothing,
compared to a woman’s kissFor hands of gold are always cold, but a woman’s hands are warm…
It was about his affair with Shae that he was desperate to hide from Cersei, and Tyrion even repeated the words when he “dealt” with the situation
But it can still apply to another Lannister with a gold hand a love affair
Arya: "That's a pretty song."
Ed Sheeran: "It's a new one… off my brand new album, 'Divide,' in stores now!!!!"#GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/nsAumXug7K— Zach Goins (@zach_goins) July 17, 2017
If Arya doesn't burn Ed Sheeran he'll come back as a white walker and be playing Westeros Glastonbury for thousands of years. #GoTS7

Only way to justify Ed Sheeran's #GameOfThrones cameo is for him to greet Bran with: "When your legs don't work like they used to before…"

Was the cameo funny, tasteless, or just plain inappropriate? I, for one, feel like it isn’t on par with Game Of Thrones entire atmosphere, but I’m not gonna complain about Sheeran screen time.
