Demi Lovato did not attend this year's People's Choice Awards because she wanted to start the year taking a breather. After winning the award for Favorite Female Artist, fans became upset that she wasn't there to accept it. And Demi refused to "Let it Go."

After announcing that she wasn't returning to the judge's table on The X-Factor Demi Lovato admitted to needing some time off to recharge her batteries. The "Heartattack" singer plans to focus on her career and her ongoing recovery from past addictions. During the People's Choice Awards Demi, who was nominated, tweeted, "I'm not at the PCA's because as I have stated before, I'm taking as much time off this month as possible."

Maybe Demi thought she wasn't going to win (which we doubt cause she's awesome) but Demi wanted to let her fans know that she still cared. She then tweeted, "I haven't taken a substantial amount of time off in a long time and now I am. Thank you for those who voted and understand why I am away." Lovato added, "If it means anything, I'm still crossing my fingers!! Your support means EVERYTHING to me."

To her surprise, the next time she looked checked Twitter for fan updates she saw that her own fans weren't too happy with her decision to bail on the award show. "Damn...just hopped online to check twitter and some "fans" are being really mean :(" Demi wrote. Yup, that's right, she quoted the "fans" part because she was also disappointed in the reaction people had. She later added: "There are "fans" who say they support me, then they hate on me, my personal life and my loved ones...and then there are my LOVATICS!!! They are the BEST fans an artist could ever ask for..I LOVE YOU!!!"

The "Neon Lights" songstress cheered up all the way after learning of her big win. She then ignored the negativity and tweeted, "I'M. SO. EXCITED!!!!!! Thank you guys SOOOOO MUCH!!! #FavoriteFemaleArtist #FavoriteMusicFanFollowing #ILOVEMYLOVATICS!!!!". You must admit Demi, it would have been nice to have accepted that award personally. Oh well, next time, your well-being comes first.
