Like the rest of the entire planet, Ed Sheeran is a diehard Game Of Thrones fan.

And as it turns out, Maisie Williams (aka Arya Stark) is also a major Sheeran fan — as in, she could be the president of his fan club.
Lovely to finally meet you. Playin it cool. @edsheeran
As a surprise for Williams, the showrunners had been trying to book Sheeran on an episode for a while now. And during SXSW this year, they confirmed that Sheeran will be making a cameo in the upcoming season.

No further details were revealed, but in an interview last week, Sheeran shared a few ~minor details~ about his role.
Here's @edsheeran video 2/5... 👋 Lines from his @GameOfThrones part & the film he is working on 🎥🎸
He doesn't give too much away, but he does reveal that his small part in the show is a scene with Arya, and involves singing:
I sing a song and then [Arya] goes, 'Oh, that's a nice song.' And I go, 'It's a new one.'
HMMM...a girl has some questions.

Why is she listening to some random dude sing? How does Ed just casually pop up busking on the streets? If it's a *new song* then is he supposed to have appeared before? Doesn't she have too much other shit to deal with than watching a Westeros concert??
Anyways, we'll find out what really goes down when Season 7 kicks off July 16, 2017!

Looks like we are having a problem on the server.
What do you think about Ed's cameo?
