Donna Kelce, the mother of NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, brought her A-game to season four of The Traitors, referencing Taylor Swift's 'Vigilante Shit' track in a bold move. During the premiere episode, which aired on Peacock on Thursday, January 8th, Donna entered the castle with her opponents, making it clear that she wouldn't back down after being voted onto the chopping block by some of her fellow competitors.
In a nod to Swift's popular 'Midnights' track, Donna cleverly adapted the lyrics "Don't get mad, get even" and "Don't get sad, get even," delivering a sassy message to her opponents. However, despite her tough talk, she was eventually exposed as a "secret traitor" by her costars and banished from the castle.
Before becoming a contestant on the show, Donna revealed that her famous sons are huge fans of The Traitors, having binge-watched it with Jason over the playoffs. Her sons' love for the show would have made an uncomfortable situation even more awkward if she had ended up competing against them or their adversaries.
Fortunately, none of the former opponents or adversaries of her sons were in the castle when Donna arrived, giving her a slightly easier start to the game. The Traitors new episodes continue to air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock, with more drama and strategy unfolding each week.

... Like, I get it, Donna was trying to be sassy and all that, but come on, didn't she think her sons would totally find out who the secret traitor was? I mean, Jason and Travis are huge football fans, what's next, they're going to start playing The Traitors with their buddies in the NFL 
. And can we talk about how awkward it is for Donna to be on the show now that she's a "traitor" herself? It's like, you know your sons, and then you go on this show and try to stab them in the back (literally)... what was her thinking? 
so yeah, Donna Kelce's move on The Traitors was kinda expected, but I love how she brought her own twist to it 
Taylor Swift's 'Vigilante Shit' is such an iconic bop, and it's awesome she referenced it in a bold way. But honestly, who gets eliminated from the castle first? 
. The Traitors has been pretty entertaining this season, and it's awesome to see the NFL fam getting involved 
. As a fan of both The Traitors and The Kelce brothers, it was kinda awkward seeing Donna play the game when her famous sons were watching from the sidelines 
. But overall, I think she brought some much-needed sass to the show 
. Maybe next season will be even more drama-filled? 
I'm loving how bold Donna Kelce was on that premiere episode of The Traitors! Who wouldn't want a dose of sassy mom realness in the middle of all that drama? 
The way she references those lyrics was EVERYTHING! And honestly, I'm kinda surprised she didn't get away with it for longer... her opponents totally saw through her sassy talk 
. It's hilarious to think Jason and Travis were watching it with her before she even played the game! 
I mean, Donna Kelce is low-key a mastermind, using Taylor Swift's lyrics like a pro 
gotta feel bad for Donna, went in so strong but got caught up in her own game 
. thought she had a solid plan, but didn't realize the others would be onto her vibes 
. Jason and Travis must've been watching from home, cringing at their mom's dramatic entrance 
. i feel bad for her though, she really did bring the heat to that premiere episode 
The Traitors is lit, especially when NFL fams get involved
