Warning: itsy bitsy spoilers for the latest season of Game of Thrones ahead.

WhenGame of Thronesfinally returned to our screens on Monday, it was a perfect reunion.

Well, almost.

You see, there was onetinyaspect of the show’s season seven premiere that the world (read: the Internet) took issue with.

Yep, that was pop star Ed Sheeran making an appearance, singing a little ditty and having a good ‘ole chit chat with Arya Stark.

Some claimed that Sheeran’s appearance took the show too much out of the fantasy world and into the real world for their liking.

Arya: That’s a pretty song. I’ve never heard it before. Ed Sheeran: It’s new. Buy my album ÷ on iTunes #GameOfThrones #GoTS7

What WAS the point in the Ed Sheeran cameo, though? It’s not like the he, or the show, needs the promotion. It achieved nothing.

Now, it appears the 26-year-oldShape of Yousinger has had enough of the Internet’s criticism and temporarily deleted Twitter account altogether.

It is suspected the singer, who is no stranger to a bit of a social media detox, removed his account to avoid the endless trolling from someThronesfans.

Clare Stephens recaps the last season ofGame of Thronesin 90 seconds on The Binge. Post continues…

While his account is now up and running again, it’s been cleared of all tweets Sheeran has posted in the last two years. The newest Tweet visible on his profile was sent on April 4, 2015.

Fans of the singer were upset that his minutes-long cameo was the cause of his social media blackout.

Poor Ed.

If it’s any consolation, my work colleague says you were the only part of the episode that made any sense.

We love, you Ed!
