Ed Sheeran may be being trolled by an army of Game of Thrones fans after his cameo on the show, but that doesn't mean he's without his allies.

That clip is taken from Blunt's 2007 appearance on Sesame Street, where he sang a parody of "You're Beautiful" called "My Triangle."

If there's one person that knows how to diffuse a situation, it's James Blunt.
