Ed Sheeran's 'Game of Thrones' cameo strikes sour note
The 'Game of Thrones' winter is finally here, so is Ed Sheeran's highly-anticipated appearance and it is making many fans think out loud.
The script for the premiere episode of the HBO show's season seven called for the 26-year-old to do what he does the best - singing.
In the segment, Arya Stark, portrayed by Maisie Williams, is seen taking some time out from killing the bad people to hang with the 'Shape of You' hitmaker, who plays one of the nameless soldiers.
Nymeria to Arya next week:

While one fan noted, "#GameOfThones writing room: 'Ok we're beyond the books, we have creative control'...Concept: Ed Sheeran camping in the woods singing a song," another wrote, "When Arya's like "I guess I'll stop for an Ed Sheeran concert on my way to murder a bunch more people." #BagofSwords #GameOfThrones."
