Pop star Helene Fischer accompanied the release of her new album "Rausch" with a live stream.

"It can't go any better," said the 37-year-old singer on Thursday evening in the live broadcast, which could be seen on YouTube and TikTok.

On arrival, presenter Janin Ullmann Fischer congratulated Fischer on her “luck”, she had “this glow”.

After media reports about a pregnancy, Fischer turned to her fans on Instagram several days ago.

She is doing fantastic and looking forward to the time ahead, she wrote there.

Literally, however, she did not speak of a pregnancy this time either.

“It's not an easy subject for me.

It's actually a bit absurd to me, ”said Fischer, looking at the many headlines.

It doesn't really want to take place there and can understand those who are annoyed "by this Helene Fischer hype."

The entertainer said again that she wanted to go on tour again in 2023.

"I will definitely do a lot of preparation next year," she said.

You can't say anything specific yet, but the tour won't start in autumn 2023 and the dates will be announced soon.

Fischer has only announced a single concert in Germany for the coming year: on August 20, she will perform in front of 150,000 fans in Munich.

Has always been a political person with his own attitude

Fischer sees herself primarily as an entertainer - but there are still moments when she also wants to take a political stance.

"In my private life I've always been a political person with my own opinion and attitude," said Fischer in an interview with the German press agency.

“But I'm primarily an entertainer.

I don't want to use my prominence as an artist, which the audience only lends to me, to spread my political opinions.

I just don't take myself that seriously. "

However, there are moments when even she cannot hold back, Fischer said.

“That's why I prefer to process and spread my thoughts and messages in songs.” Time and again, other artists had asked Fischer to take a public political stance.

In September 2018, at a concert in Berlin, she appealed to her fans to take a stand against racism and violence - and received a lot of encouragement.

On her new album "Rausch", too, there are some songs with a political message, such as the song "When we wake up".
