Katy Perry Backs Out Of People’s Choice Awards


Katy Perry was set to step out onto the public stage at the People’s Choice Awards for the first time since her announced divorce from British comedian Russell Brand last month and now the pop singer has cancelled those plans.

Perry announced the cancellation to her Twitter followers with the simple tweet:

“Unfortunately I will not be able to attend.”

Perry didn’t give a reason for missing the upcoming Wednesday night awards show but she did add:

“I want to thank u all for voting for me, fingers crossed! #KATYCATS.”

The show is already set to feature a wide variety of celebrities including Julianne Hough, Demi Lovato, Robert Pattinson, Alyson Hannigan and many others.

Representatives for the People’s Choice Awards have also remained mum on the Katy Perry cancellation.

Oddly enough it was recently announced that Russell Brand was uninvited from the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles in order to avoid any uncomfortable or outright awkward confrontations between the former couple.

Are you surprised to learn that Katy Perry will not be attending the People’s Choice Awards or was avoiding the public spotlight and all of the questions she would undoubtedly receive a smart move just one month into the filing of divorce papers?
