At the American Music Awards of 2016 she sang "Million Reasons" while playing a guitar, with the set resembling a camp ground. It received unanimous praise with Hilton Dresden from "Out" calling it a "heart-wrenching" rendition, while "The Huffington Post"s Cole Delbyck described it as "stirring" and "emotional". "Billboard" listed it as the third best performance of the night describing it as "resounding". A few days later Gaga visited the Ali Forney LGBT community centre and performed an acoustic version of "Million Reasons", seated atop a piano wearing a T-shirt that read "Be Brave". The next performance of the song occurred at the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Paris. Prior to the actual performance onstage, Gaga sang the track backstage with some of the models from the show. For the performance Gaga wore a black dress with fish-tail train, printed with red roses, high neck and long sleeves. According to Bethan Holt of "The Daily Telegraph", the look was a contrast to the scarce dressed models who walked past her waving. Delbyck wrote in "The Huffington Post" that Gaga sounded "off" during the performance, and noted her "awkward" interaction with the models. He also opined that songs from "Joanne" were not the best selection for a Victoria's Secret show. Later that year, Gaga was a surprise performer at the 2016 Airbnb Open Spotlight, where she performed the song with Lindsey, and appeared in the Carpool Karaoke segment of "The Late Late Show with James Corden", with "Million Reasons" being the last song Gaga sang in the vehicle.
