Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato did not attend the 2011 American Music Awards. Both girls skipped out on the event, which was a bit surprising to their fans. Demi had a break in her tour schedule tonight, but it's unknown why she didn't go to the show. Miley is supposedly in Los Angeles, but she didn't make it out either.
Neither Demi nor Miley were nominated for an award, which could be the reason that they didn't show up. It's possible that they weren't even invited, which is a bit strange, especially because they have been big parts of the show in the past. It seems that this year was dominated by an older crowd including Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and Beyoncé.
Demi Lovato's album Unbroken did fairly well this year, and even though Miley hasn't released any new music as of late, it's a bit strange that she didn't make an appearance. With Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and other young stars on board for the show, it's almost expected that Demi and Miley would attend... however, that was not the case.
