The real reason Kylie Jenner bailed on the American Music Awards.

The American Music Awards on Monday gave us many things — Chrissy Teigen’s sky-high split dress and Gigi Hadid’s divisive impersonation of Melania Trump to name but a couple.

But there’s one thing the awards ceremony didn’t give us, and that’s one Kylie Jenner.

The youngest Kardashian/Jenner family member had planned to waltz down the red carpet with her celebrity peers, but was forced to bail on the event for the cutest possible reason: PUPPIES.

Sure, Kylie might have missed a fun night out with Hollywood's elite in favour of staying in and caring for her brood.

But when faced with the choice between excruciatingly high heels and posing for countless photos vs. a night in with fresh puppies... well, that's not really a choice, is it?

And if you also missed all the action from the AMAs red carpet, have a click through these photos:
