Taylor Swift and her family are obsessed with The Traitors, reveals Donna Kelce

Global pop icon Taylor Swift may be accustomed to dazzling arena-sized crowds, but her latest obsession is far more intimate — cosy evenings at home watching reality television. This season of The Traitors has proven especially meaningful, thanks to a surprise appearance from someone close to her inner circle.

  • Taylor Swift and family are fans of the reality show The Traitors
  • Donna Kelce appeared as the first-ever Secret Traitor this season
  • Her role on the show became a special family bonding moment

While Taylor Swift is used to commanding stadiums packed with thousands, it seems her latest source of excitement is far more low-key — family nights spent watching The Traitors.

And at the heart of that viewing ritual is someone very close to home: Donna Kelce.

According to Female First UK, Taylor Swift and her parents, Scott Swift and Andrea Swift, are enthusiastic fans of the reality competition series.

This season, however, the show carried extra significance. Donna Kelce, mother of Travis Kelce, stepped into the spotlight as the first-ever Secret Traitor — a twist that added both tension and pride for those watching from home.

Although Donna Kelce was eliminated in episode three, her time on the show clearly meant a great deal to her family. Speaking during The Traitors reunion special, she shared that Taylor Swift and her family had been keeping up with every episode.

“Yes, she’s a watcher. So is her family. They love Traitors," Donna said, offering a sweet glimpse into the Swift household’s viewing habits.

For Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, watching their mother navigate deception and strategy was both surprising and delightful. Travis Kelce praised her confidence at the round table, calling her “fantastic" for standing firm under pressure. Jason Kelce, speaking on the New Heights podcast, admitted he had seen a completely different side of his mother.

“I loved watching her in it… She was way more deceitful and devious than I thought Mom could ever be," he said, clearly amused by her competitive streak.

Even within the family, opinions differed. Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie Kelce, confessed on the Green Light podcast that she felt being the Secret Traitor may have limited Donna Kelce’s chances. “I wanted her to have her best chance to team up with people… If she were a traitor but not the secret traitor, I think she would have nailed it because she’s just too sweet," Kylie explained.

Despite the early exit, Donna Kelce’s appearance has become a shared family memory — one that brought together sport, music and reality television in an unexpectedly heartwarming way.
