Ed Sheeran hyped about his 'Game of Thrones' cameo

The new season of Game of Thrones premiered with an epic surprise on Sunday.

Of course, pop star, Ed Sheeran's cameo as a singing soldier in the Lannister army freaked everyone out.

The singer's presence added additional buzz to a highly-awaited season premiere.

But, it was not only the fans who were excited about his cameo. The 'Thinking Out Loud' artist was as much excited to see himself on TV.

Sheeran appeared onscreen in a sequence in which Arya Stark, played by Maisie Williams, rode horseback through a forest. He was found singing a campfire song and shared some rabbit and blackberry wine with Arya.
