During an appearance on _Jimmy Kimmel Live_, the diva not only revealed that she is a huge fan of the show, but also gave a spirited “operatic” rendition of the show’s theme song. Kimmel kindly helped Chenoweth get in the mood for the song by gifting her a sword made of Valyrian steel and playing the visuals of the show’s opening credits amid flames for what could only be termed as a truly epic performance. Watch the full performance below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4519503/kristin-chenoweth-game-of-thrones-theme-song/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4519503/kristin-chenoweth-game-of-thrones-theme-song/"},"headline":"Watch Kristin Chenoweth Sing the Game of Thrones Theme Song Like You've Never Heard It Before","datePublished":"2016-10-05T15:12:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:20.355Z","description":"With a sword","url":"https://time.com/4519503/kristin-chenoweth-game-of-thrones-theme-song/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television","game of thrones","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4519503/kristin-chenoweth-game-of-thrones-theme-song/","name":"Watch Kristin Chenoweth Sing the Game of Thrones Theme Song Like You've Never Heard It Before"}}]}] ```
