As a result, she managed to top the annual charts four times in five years: no artist had done this before in Germany.
From September 2017 to March 2018 Fischer was on tour with her current album and gave 63 concerts. Due to illness, five concerts were canceled on the original date. There were alternative dates for all canceled concerts. The tour, which was designed in collaboration with 45 Degrees, a subsidiary of Cirque du Soleil , received a live entertainment award in April 2018 .

Another stadium tour began in June 2018 with performances in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
After the riots in Chemnitz in August and September 2018 , at a concert on September 4, 2018 in Berlin, in front of a song that stood “for friendship [...] [and] for tolerance”, Fischer urged the audience to: “... now rise you, raise your voices with me, against violence, against xenophobia, okay? […] We are breaking the silence here in Berlin! ”Even before the appearance, she had written on Instagram :“ We cannot and must not ignore what is currently happening in our country, but luckily we can also see how great the solidarity is at the same time is [...] music as a sign of solidarity and it is always love that wins. [...] #wirbrechendasschreigen #wirsindmehr #schreiteslaut #liebe #peace. "
According to research by the New York Times in November 2018, in which the most successful international musicians were compared based on their average income per concert, Fischer was ranked eighth worldwide - and is therefore also the most successful non-English-speaking singer. With an average ticket price of around 71 euros, it generates around 3.2 million euros per concert. Also, the Forbes magazine led Fischer in 2018 among the top ten highest income singers; it also came eighth on the list, ahead of Dion and Spears, with revenues of about $ 32 million.
