Hozier Premieres "Someone New" Music Video Starring 'Game of Thrones' Actress Natalie Dormer [WATCH]

Hozier, the bluesy "Take Me to Church" singer, premiered his music video for "Someone New" with the help of titillating Game of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer.

The premise is simple yet subtle. Hozier enters a bar in London to perform his song "Someone New." Natalie Dormer, known for her portrayal of Margaery Tyrell on Game of Thrones and for her role as Cressida in the newest installment of The Hunger Games movie series, falls in love with someone every few seconds.

But there is a catch.

The actress notices one man standing on the side of the room and disappears with him into the bathroom. In the next encounter, Dormer makes out with a man she is sitting next to on the London Underground.

Then Dormer is walking alone, but she spots two women holding hands. Suddenly, she has taken the place of one of the women and is holding hands with the other. She is not actually having these encounters. She is just lonely and imagining what it would be like to be those people.

Hozier stays in the background for the entire video with the occasional cuts of close-ups to him performing in the bar. The video has a dream-like feel until the end.

This past weekend, Hozier teased on Twitter that Dormer would be making an appearance in his music video.

Hozier is not a stranger to YouTube and music video success. His music video for "Take Me to Church" has more than 130 million views.

"I remember someone texting me to say it was getting 10,000 views an hour," said Hozier, in an interview with Rolling Stone. "I went home that night and watched the views rise hour by hour. It was just crazy."
