Singer Ed Sheeran made his Game of Thrones debut in season seven’s premiere episode.

The Castle on the Hill singer appeared 39 minutes into the episode when his unnamed character’s voice caught the attention of young Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) as she was riding through the forest. It aired on July 16.

“For hands of gold are always cold, but a woman’s hands are warm,” Sheeran’s character croons while sitting fireside with a group of soldiers who have stopped to have a bite to eat before heading to The Riverlands.

“It’s a pretty song, I’ve never heard it before,” says Stark.

“It’s a new one,” Sheeran retorts.

Last month, he spoke about the cameo on the popular show.

“I haven’t seen it yet! I just know the scene I did, I did with Maisie, and it’s decent. I like it,” Sheeran said.

“Nothing exciting happens in this scene, we just have a conversation and that’s kind of it.”

Sheeran also admitted that he feels his cameo “has been built up too much”.

“People will just be like, ‘Oh... oh, all right’,” he joked.

“It’s not an integral part of it, at all. I’m just like, in it.”
