Yesterday saw the season seven premiere of HBO's Game of Thrones, and a record-breaking 16.1 million viewers tuned in to follow the fates of their favorite characters for another run of blood and betrayal. But they also tuned in for another plot twist, namely to see global megastar famous singer Ed Sheeran make his much-anticipated cameo appearance. The "Shape of You" singer appeared in a scene with Arya Stark while dressed in a suit of armor, but while he may have been a shining knight for some, others on Twitter weren't quite so convinced by Sheeran's random acting career start as a Westerosi. See below for some of the funny reactions, and don't forget to vote for your favorite! After all, Ed Sheeran's Game of Thrones performance is not something to be missed... Right?

that was exactly my reaction...I did not know he is going to appear on GoT. Then I shared with other people who watch GoT and they were like "...yeah...we knew he will be there....that was previously announced". I am not a crazy fan who follows the news, but....seeing all jokes, it seems I am not the only one who did not know about that...

This is so true. The scene minus-Sheeran was all about humanizing the Lannister soldiers and presenting Arya with a moral dilemma.

Yeah, because it's a given that everybody knows who Ed Sheeran is AND how he looks like. No chance anybody just saw a randome dude :)

I really don't get why it's such a thing...If i had a chance to act on GoT even for a small role, I would, so I'm not blaming Sheeran for having the role. Just like Simon Pegg or Daniel Craig participated to Star Wars. Why get so distract by so such insignificant thing?

This door can never be closed. Ed shall forever be made fun of for being in GoT. His career and memes shall revolve around it for all time.

Because the other cameos were natural. This felt forced and obvious. The other artists were also nowhere near as famous at Ed Sheeran.

It isn't an ad for his song *rolls eyes* the song he is singing is from the books. About a bard that sang of Tyrion and Shae. Plus this scene wasn't there just for the lulz. This scene ties in after Arya killed a bunch of soldiers. Having that Arya is seeing everything in red now it made her contemplate that not everyone is bad. Listen to the script and look at their expressions closely not just watch and whine about someone famous who had a cameo in the series.

saying it again - if this guys wasn't rich and famous and talented - women would generally not give him a second look. I did nearly die when he reared his face in in GOT. They knew what they were doing. EVERYONE is talking about this weak episode.
