Comedian Matt Rife is currently on his Stay Golden World Tour and recently performed a sold-out show in Billings, Montana. During the show, a special guest joined Rife on stage, and it was a treat for country music fans.

Rising country artist Sam Barber joined Rife on stage in Billings and performed a few songs for fans in the audience. Barber is originally from Missouri, but now calls Bozeman home. You can watch Barber's performance below.

While in Big Sky Country, Matt Rife spent time outdoors and went on a few adventures. Here's what he had to say about his time in Montana.

Matt Rife Shares Pictures From His Exciting Montana Adventures

It seems like Matt Rife had the time of his life in Montana because he hasn't stopped talking about it since he left. In a post shared on social media, he said he can't wait to come back.

While some Montanans might cringe at the thought of another celebrity praising the Treasure State, it's hard not to appreciate the way Matt Rife spent his time here. He explored the outdoors, supported local businesses, and appeared to genuinely enjoy his Montana adventure.

Honestly, I hope he comes back sooner rather than later. If there's one thing Montana needs, it's more stand-up comedy. There's a lot of craziness happening in the world, and laughter is always the best medicine.
