Miley Cyrus was MIA at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night, despite her confirmed appearance to accept the show's highest honor, the Ultimate Award, and now we know why.
The 24-year-old singer, who was nominated in four other categories, went on Instagram to apologize to her fans, mentioning her "unrealistic schedule" made it impossible to accept the coveted award in person.
"I want to say thank you from the very bottom of my heart for presenting me with #TheUltimateChoiceAward! I am beyond bummed I couldn't make it to the show as I had every intention of being there to accept and celebrate this honor," she wrote. "I created an unrealistic schedule for myself which leads me to this announcement!"
