steal the limelight

Grabbing the public's attention, similar in derivation to stealing the spotlight as the old technology of super-heating limestone with an oxyhydrogen flame was used in theatrical spotlights before the widespread use of electricity.
The Indians and Red Sox were in a heated battle for the pennant but instead we watched George Steinbrenner steal the limelight for the Yankees with his offer of a one-year manager's contract to Joe Torre that same day.

They are a why don't we fan account on Instagram. Two best friends that are the cutest people on earth that share their love with not only their followers/fans but their internet friends.

Their names are Maggie (Seavey) and Sophie (Besson) 😉

They met the boys on the 8 letters tour 2019. Maggie sang IDBITC to Daniel and gave him the ukelele she played (she and Sophie also personalized it)

They are the nicest girls, and will talk about why don't we whenever. They both have really great voices too! I recommend checking them out and following them on Instagram to help you get clear skin!
Hey, did you see what Limelights_in_the_limelight just post?

Daniel Seavey should totally slide into Maggie's DM's! They would be so cute together!
