Celebrity cameos are nothing new in Game of Thrones, but Ed Sheeran’s was a step too far for many fans tonight, as the HBO show returned for the premiere episode of its seventh season.
*Mild spoilers ahead for episode 1, ‘Dragonstone’*
Arya Stark was traveling on horseback through a wood when she stumbled upon a group of soldiers, with Sheeran, midway through singing a campfire song, turning around for a not particularly subtle close-up.
He then got pretty extensive camera coverage for the rest of the scene, often appearing in the foreground and background of shots as Arya and the soldiers exchanged banter.

“If Arya doesn’t burn Ed Sheeran he’ll come back as a white walker and be playing Westeros Glastonbury for thousands of years,” one viewer tweeted.
“Ed Sheeran’s Game of Thrones introduction had all the grace and nuance as the time Alice and the gang at Mel’s Diner met Jerry Reed,” another added.
Sheeran had the biggest musician cameo in the show yet, following smaller contributions from members of Coldplay, Sigur Ros and Mastodon.
The scene left the door open for the singer to also feature in the next episode, though he doesn’t feature in the trailer for it.
