On November 3, 2000, Madonna appeared on "The Late Show with David Letterman", her first time on the show since her controversial appearance in 1994. She performed a slow version of "Don't Tell Me" on acoustic guitar; this marked the first time the singer played guitar in public. Dressed in a black bedazzled cowboy shirt and jeans, she was joined by Joe Henry. Shortly afterwards, she traveled to Europe to promote "Music" and performed "Don't Tell Me" on German TV show "Wetten, dass..?". On November 24, she appeared on British television show "Top of the Pops" and performed both "Don't Tell Me" and "Music". Both songs were also performed during Madonna's visit to French television program "Nulle Part Ailleurs" that same week, as well as on Italian show "Carràmba! Che fortuna". The song was also performed on the promotional concerts for "Music", on November 5, 2000, at New York City's Roseland Ballroom, and on November 29 at London's Brixton Academy. During the performance Madonna sat on a bale of hay while Ahmadzaï played guitar. Her wardrobe consisted of a black tank top with the name Britney Spears written on it, cowboy hat and boots. For the London performance, Madonna wore a different t-shirt, with the names of her son Rocco and daughter Lourdes printed on it.
