Eric Church's Latest Cryptic Video Features Taylor Swift

(Radio.com) Eric Church appears to have at least one thing in common with Garth Brooks: they both love a good mystery. While Brooks had been deliberately cryptic when announcing his CBS concert special as well as the release of his new box set, Church has been taking a similar tactic regarding news about his upcoming album The Outsiders. Since first hinting at the album back in October, he's released a series of mysterious videos that appear to drop clues about upcoming events and possible song titles, and even share snippets of melodies.

Yesterday, (Dec. 3) he unveiled his latest, a short clip that features a 'surprise guest,' Taylor Swift. The video is titled "One Will Rise and One Will Fall", and it includes footage from a recent Church performance before shifting gears to show Swift speaking during an unnamed awards ceremony. The clip includes a snippet of her acceptance speech, where she describes first learning of her touring opportunity with Rascal Flatts.

"I remember when I was 16 and I got the first phone call from Scott Borchetta, my label president," Swift recounts in the video. "He said, 'Can you be on the road in two days to open up for Rascal Flatts?' And I just started screaming. I said, 'This has to be a miracle!' He said, 'No it's not a miracle. Eric Church got fired for playing too long.'"

Those last few words from Swift ("Eric Church got fired for playing too long") are then repeated over and over again, while in the foreground, someone is seen writing in black on newspaper, "One will rise and one will fall" � and then erasing the "one will fall" portion. A finger then points to a piece of paper that bears the words "The Good Fight."

While fans wonder what this is all about, the video description simply states: "The Outsiders fought the good fight, now it's time to shed a light on everything the masses need. Give it till the New Year." Watch the video and read more here.
