Swift's three shows scheduled for Austria were canceled after an alleged terror plot targeting Swift fans was uncovered.

Austrian police arrested two suspects after officials say they made detailed plans for an attack after being radicalized online. One of those two, allegedly recently pledged allegiance to ISIS.

Hoosiers who made the trip say they're bummed, but also understand.

"It's too bad things like this are still happening in the world," Hallie Barnard said. "But we're here, we're going to make the best of it. See some different cities, and sights."

Taylor Swift is scheduled to perform in Indianapolis in November.
