Ed Sheeran briefly quit Twitter yesterday, a day after his Game of Thrones episode aired. The account is back up, and some speculated that he deleted it initially because of the trolling he got over his GoT guest spot. But this is not the case, Sheeran explained on Instagram, "because I am in game of thrones, why the hell would I worry what people thought about that. It's clearly fuckin' awesome."
Or as he put it in full:
Last i'll say on this. I came off Twitter Coz I was always intending to come off Twitter, had nothing to do with what people said about my game of thrones cameo, because I am in game of thrones, why the hell would I worry what people thought about that. It's clearly fuckin' awesome. Timing was just a coincidence, but believe what you want. Here is an unrelated picture of me and my wonderful manager riding off into the sunset together
And now we know!
