Cobra Kai is one intricately designed series with flashes of heartwarming moments beautifully blended with flamboyant action sequences. While the duality of the series often catches fans off guard, the cast has it much harder as they have to curb the drama and go back to being the close pals that they are in real life. This is especially true for Peyton List and Alicia Hannah Keys who revealed in her latest interview with Vogue that she and List start "singing Taylor Swift songs in between takes" to ease off the tension.

Keys further elaborated that her and Peyton List are both Swifties, and her songs just serve as the perfect window to cough off the tension from the dramatic scene that they had been filming. When asked which song was her favorite, Keys mentioned that '22' remains the perfect weapon of choice on most occasions.
