2023 has been a wild ride in Montana, and as we near the end of the year, it's a great time to look back and reflect on some of the most memorable moments that went viral online. The year flew by incredibly fast, and at times, it's difficult to remember all of the tiny details of each major event.

One of the biggest stories of the year involved a popular social media influencer who was interviewed for an article in Business Insider. In the article, she talked about moving to Bozeman from New York. She went on to explain why her lavish Bozeman lifestyle is so much better than her days living in the big city. She purchased a million-dollar home and said "she'd rather feel rich than big-city cool." Her name is Shallon Lester.

After the backlash, Lester issued a response on her Instagram account.
