For some folks, though, the video he launched on Tuesday appears to have gone too far. As we reported earlier, that video was titled "One Will Rise and One Will Fall," and it featured a clip of Taylor Swift speaking at an awards show, where she mentions she got a boost in her career by being added to a Rascal Flatts tour in 2006 after Church, who was the original opening act, was fired for playing too long. Her words are juxtaposed with a hand writing out the words "one will rise and one will fall."

Spooky? Maybe. A dig at Taylor? Not likely. Yet some certainly took it that way. One writer wondered if Taylor was "the one that will fall," another labeled it a "threat," while still another didn't mince words, calling the video "despicable, sickening, and downright dangerous." Yikes.

@MirandasRanFans tweeted "I hope Taylor Swift's security is on the lookout for Eric Church cause that video was just plain scary."

In what appears to be a response to these reactions, the video has since been pulled (set to "private").

Not one to sit still, Church's camp reacted quickly. Today, a new video appeared, accompanied on the singer's Facebook and Twitter sites with the simple message, "Focus on the clues and stay on course�"
