For one thing, while the producers might not have written the ending to the show as a whole yet when Sheeran's scene was filmed, they'd definitely written the ending to Season 7 - on a show as complicated as "Game of Thrones," stories have to be planned out well ahead of time. That said, I'm not really inclined to believe this was actually the case. Was Arya Stark supposed to die in "Game of Thrones" Season 7? So Sheeran is saying that Arya Stark wasn't meant to appear on "Game of Thrones" past the seventh season? If true, that's a pretty big change. So, she was meant to turn up on set, and I was by the fire." It was meant to be her last season but it wasn't. "I don't think they had written the ending yet. "She's always been awesome," Sheeran said of Williams.

Sheeran recently talked about the scene on an episode of the Armchair Expert podcast, and he dropped a potential bombshell. It was a sweet little scene that humanized the Lannister soldiers and helped us reconnect a bit with Arya after her long strange adventure in Braavos. Musician Ed Sheeran famously had a cameo appearance in the Season 7 premiere of " Game of Thrones," playing a Lannister soldier Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) runs into on her way to King's Landing. "We knew that Maisie was a big fan of Ed Sheeran, and for years we've been trying to get him on the show so we can surprise Maisie," showrunner David Benioff said at the time.
