Kristin Davis and Cindy Chupack met the night of a Cher concert, where they got permission to ‘Believe’.
Memorable night: Plan to meet Cher
When the “Sex and the City” team found out that they had to use Cher’s hit song “Believe” in the show, Kristin Davis, along with scriptwriter Cindy Chupack, thought they would get permission.
One day, they called everyone together and finalized the plan for Cher’s concert in Madison Square Garden.
Charlotte’s story and ‘Believe’
In an episode of the second season, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is in the bedroom with her pet chef, Stephan, and suddenly ‘Believe’ starts playing.
This scene was so special that they believed nothing was complete without telling this story before song clearance.
Blast in Madison Square Garden
The atmosphere in Madison Square Garden was electrifying that day.
Cyndi Lauper opened the show, then Cher came to the Bühne – wearing a Viking-style headpiece.
Kristin says, “When you see her live, everything looks impressive, but when I get up close, I realize how fragile she can be.”
The tenderness behind the Viking hat
Cindy recalls, “Cher talked to us before the show, hugged us.”
Kristin says, “I touched her and realized that behind such a big star, there is a person who can break easily.”
This moment completely grounded her.
Chupack and Davis’ experiences
Cindy laughed and said, “We got a chance to have a genuine conversation, not a formal meeting.”
Kristin’s eyes were shining—“When she said ‘Use it, go ahead,’ I couldn’t stop myself.”
Both of them together described that moment as an “absolute dream.”
The magic of ‘Believe’ and the memories that remain
For Kristin, it became not just a song, but a piece of a dream.
“Whenever I hear ‘Believe’ on the radio, I remember the Butterman scene, Cher holding my hand, and the chemistry between us.”
She says, “This experience will never fade for me.”
This story proves that even the biggest permission doesn’t seem formal when the person sitting in front of us is as ordinary as we are.
Cher’s “Believe” has now become a part of Charlotte’s heartbeat—and Kristin Davis will remember that day for the rest of her life.
