ABBA Reunion – When Frida Loved Agnetha & Back | The Beautiful Friendship in 2021 & 2023
ABBA’s reunion in 2021 after four decades was not only a historic musical moment, but also a heartwarming reminder of the enduring friendship between its members — especially between the two iconic women of the group, Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida) and Agnetha Fältskog. For many fans, seeing Frida and Agnetha reunited, laughing together, singing again, and openly expressing affection for one another was one of the most touching aspects of ABBA’s remarkable comeback story.
During interviews surrounding the release of their comeback album Voyage in 2021, Frida and Agnetha spoke warmly about their renewed bond. After years of keeping a low profile and living relatively private lives, both women admitted that returning to the studio together brought back strong emotions and fond memories of their youth. Frida, known for her joyful spirit, shared in an interview, “I really missed Agnetha. When we stood together in the studio again, it was like coming home. She’s always been special to me.”
Agnetha, who has often been more reserved with the media, smiled when asked about Frida during a Swedish television special. She simply said, “Frida makes me laugh. We shared so much together, and it felt good to feel that connection again after all these years.”
By 2023, their bond appeared stronger than ever. Behind-the-scenes clips from the ABBA Voyage virtual concert project captured candid moments of Frida and Agnetha embracing, joking, and watching the digital versions of their younger selves with a mix of nostalgia and pride. Frida commented in a documentary, “It’s amazing, we lived these moments together, and even now, we understand each other without needing many words.”
Their relationship has had its ups and downs over the decades — as happens with many people who share intense work environments — but their reunion in recent years seemed to heal any lingering distance. Fans noticed how the two women would often glance at each other during interviews, finishing each other’s sentences, and showing a quiet respect and affection built over a lifetime of shared experiences.
Social media quickly celebrated the “Frida and Agnetha friendship,” with fans around the world calling them “soul sisters” and praising the joy they brought to each other’s lives. One fan wrote, “Seeing Frida and Agnetha together again was like seeing old friends reunite after a lifetime — pure magic.”
