Trivia[]

  • She is probably the first Filipino to portray a character in the series.
    • Ashley Argota is also one of two Filipino actresses in Disney XD/Disney Channel; the other being Paris Berelc, who portrays Skylar Storm from Mighty Med.
  • She and Kelli Berglund also starred in How To Build a Better Boy, as Nevaeh Barnes and Mae Hartley. Coincidentally, their characters were also enemies to each other just like their characters in Lab Rats. A major difference is that Neveah was antagonistic willingly, while Taylor wasn't evil by choice.
    • Kelli stated in an interview that she hoped they would have a role where they don't hate each other. Interestingly, S-1/Taylor turns good in Season 4.
  • She's best friends with Raini Rodriguez from Austin & Ally.
  • She and Oana Gregory share the same birthday (January 9).
