The Traitors<\/em><\/a> season 4 cast not only had to deal with backstabbing fellow contestants \u2014 but incurring the wrath of Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s fan base as well!<\/p>\n

The Peacock reality competition returns<\/a> on Thursday, January 8, with Swift\u2019s future mother-in-law, Donna Kelce<\/strong><\/a>, leading the new batch of contestants.<\/p>\n

Promoting the new season on the Wednesday, January 7, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em><\/a>, host Alan Cumming<\/strong><\/a> admitted that Donna\u2019s adjacency to the pop superstar left some other stars worried about trying to vote her out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe contestants, the players, talk about it quite a lot,\u201d Cumming, 60, said<\/a>. \u201c[They were like] \u2018I\u2019m a bit worried about the Swifties. What they\u2019ll do if we\u2026\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Cumming, the looming threat of Swifties coming after the celebrity contestants was \u201cquite fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s another added layer of menace,\u201d Cumming teased.<\/p>\n

Donna \u2014 who is mom to Swift\u2019s fianc\u00e9, Travis Kelce<\/strong>, and brother Jason Kelce<\/strong> \u2014 is among the 23 contestants competing on The Traitors<\/em> season 4.<\/p>\n

The cast also includes Real Housewives<\/em> stars Candiace Dillard Bassett<\/strong> (Real Housewives of Potomac<\/em>), Caroline Stanbury<\/strong> (Real Housewives of Dubai<\/em>), Dorinda Medley<\/strong> (Real Housewives of New York City<\/em>), Lisa Rinna<\/strong> (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em>) and Porsha Williams<\/strong> (Real Housewives of Atlanta<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Former Bachelor Colton Underwood<\/strong>, Laguna Beach<\/em> star Stephen Colletti<\/strong> and drag queen Mon\u00e9t X Change<\/strong> are all also part of the cast.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonna, she\u2019s hilarious,\u201d Cumming said of the Kelce matriarch. \u201cShe\u2019s such a sweet lady. I really liked her.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThere\u2019s a really cute moment in the first episode when I sort of interviewed them. I said, \u2018How are you feeling, Donna?\u2019 and she went, \u2018A little weird.\u2019 It\u2019s so cute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stanbury, 49, previously teased the cast dynamic with Donna in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly<\/em> at BravoCon 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to say the only thing was, everyone was so scared to go up against her,\u201d Stanbury said of Donna<\/a>, citing Swift\u2019s impassioned fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut no, she was lovely. So lovely,\u201d the Ladies of London<\/em> alum added.<\/p>\n

Donna\u2019s sons previously commented on their mom\u2019s latest career move.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the evil side of Donna. You guys haven\u2019t,\u201d Travis, 36, joked at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France in June. \u201cThere is no evil side. She\u2019s the sweetest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tCandiace Dillard-Bassett is calling out her Traitors costar Donna Kelce. \u201cMama D! Mama Donna is the sweetest,\u201d Dillard-Bassett, 38, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Page Six Virtual Reali-Tea \u201cVRT Awards\u201d 2025 at City Winery in New York City on Wednesday, September 17. \u201cShe\u2019s America\u2019s mom, and she was the castle mom for all of [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI really am looking forward to seeing how she does,\u201d Jason, 38, added. \u201cCautiously pessimistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

In July, the former Philadelphia Eagles center told Entertainment Tonight<\/em> that he was curious how Donna would fare on The Traitors<\/em> because his mother is \u201cso sweet and kind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like in that show, you have to be manipulative and cunning, and you\u2019ve gotta be cutthroat,\u201d Jason said. \u201cSo I don\u2019t know, we\u2019ll see. I\u2019m anxious to see how she did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason\u2019s wife, Kylie Kelce<\/strong>, has also commented on her mother-in-law\u2019s appearance<\/a> on the show during a June episode of her \u201cNot Gonna Lie\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n
