The 21-year-old singer, who won Favourite Female Artist and Favourite Music Fan in this year's People's Choice Awards, said she was on a month-long break to give some time for herself and her family because of which it was difficult for her to attend the show, reported Contactmusic.
"Just hopped online to check twitter and some 'fans' are being really mean... I'm not a (at) the Pca's (People's Choice Awards) because as I have stated before, I'm taking as much time off this month as possible... I haven't taken a substantial amount of time off in a long time and now I am," Lovato said.
