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 .

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
