Miley, who was set to make her first appearance at the show since 2013 to collect the Ultimate Choice Award, skipped the event, citing scheduling concerns.

AceShowbiz - Miley Cyrus was nowhere to be seen at the 2017 Teen Choice Awards despite the fact that she would be honored with the top prize, the Ultimate Choice Award. It would've marked her first appearance at the show since 2013.

Miley's absence was without prior announcement as the official TCAs account made it seem like she already arrived. "@MileyCyrus is in the HOUSE! We will see you at 8PM EST TONIGHT for #TeenChoice!" it tweeted on Sunday, August 13.

But what was even more confusing was her replacement. Victoria Justice was on hand to break the news, saying, "Unfortunately, last minute, Miley Cyrus couldn't make it. But you know who's here? Jake Paul over at Teen Fest." The show then cut to the YouTube personality and it left viewers disappointed.

" 'unfortunately, miley cyrus couldn't make it... but here's jake paul!' what a disappointing combination of words #teenchoice," one tweeted. Another similarly reacted, "BRUH THE TEEN CHOICE AWARDS JUST SAID MILEY CYRUS COULDNT MAKE IT SO HERES JAKE PAUL PUT ME IN MY GRAVE."
