Kalista targeted seven betrayers during the harrowing of 2014(Cassiopeia Zed TwistedFate Hecarim Leblanc Lissandra Xerath ). Could she be targeting Swain as well for apparently betraying Urgot?

I don't think Kalista actually hunts people unless someone (usually the one being betrayed) personally summons her. Kalista targeting those champions was probably just a marketing thing to hype up her release rather than any serious narrative event. Hecarim's the exception, as Kalista has a personal grudge against him.

In her short story, the betrayed spear-wife summons Kalista by creating an effigy of the target and stabbing it with nails. In the video "the Pledge" the betrayed dude offers up his soul with his dying breath, and Kalista accepts the pact. So unless Shen or Sivir or Azir decide to sacrifice their souls, Kalista won't intervene with their feuds. Same goes for Swain. It would be pretty out of character for Urgot to summon Kalista, but Swain's probably betrayed a lot of people (du Couteau for example), so it's still possible that someone made the pact.

Also, Kalista is probably confined to the Black Mist, just like the rest of the Shadow Islanders. So even if she is on the hunt, there are some limits to what she's capable of.
