She was probably asked to do background. Remember that Miranda has the cross-over-contract with Columbia Records. The executives would want her to be featured positively in as many ways as possible; hence, anything the detracts from her being the lead is going to be nixed by the executives. Thus, Jennette does backing vocals.

For those who are looking at the drama surrounding Sam&Cat, the same reasoning applies there even though Ariana Grande does not have a contract with Columbia. She has the break-out album and the chart-topping single. Thus, the executives feel the need to push her to the forefront at the expense of everyone else. Thus, you rig the KCAs so that she can win in a dramatic come-back (yes, playing the underdog card in face of the implacable opponent, Sam Puckett the criminal [n.b.: I deliberately did not say "Jennette McCurdy"]). As long as Jennette plays along, the only loser would be her. They probably calculated that she would show up at the KCAs to support Dan Schneider.
