"For years we were trying to get Ed Sheeran on the show to surprise Maisie [Williams] and this year we finally did it," Executive Producer David Benioff said at the "GoT" SXSW panel, per Entertainment Weekly. "A lot of [music artists] say they would they would like to [be on the show], and then we tell them [shooting a scene] is so boring," Executive Producer Dan Weiss said.
