Stephen Colletti has revealed an unexpected connection to Taylor Swift while reflecting on his experience on The Traitors.
He admitted that he once appeared in one of the pop star’s music videos, but chose not to share it with Donna Kelce during filming.
The actor and reality star, best known for Laguna Beach, disclosed that he featured in Swift’s 2009 White Horse music video.
Despite this link, he said the topic never came up while he was competing alongside Kelce, who is the mother of NFL star Travis Kelce and widely associated with Swift’s inner circle.
According to People, Colletti acknowledged that, in hindsight, it could have been a bonding moment.
“I should have bonded with Donna about that,” he said, adding that the opportunity simply didn’t arise during the intense filming environment.
Moreover, the revelation adds another layer to the dynamic between contestants on the hit reality show, where Kelce’s connection to Swift was already seen as a powerful influence.
Colletti previously noted that many players were hesitant to target her in the game due to the global reach of Swift’s fanbase, often referred to as “Swifties.”
Despite this perceived advantage, Kelce was eventually eliminated early in the competition, proving that alliances and strategy ultimately outweighed outside reputations.
