ABBA arrived by taxi (Agnetha and Frida sitting together and Benny and Björn sitting opposite them) fairly early into the red carpet arrivals. They started off talking to the press together (ie. all four of them) but their PR split them into two couples (Björn & Frida and Benny & Agnetha) shortly afterwards to speed things up. So there were some interviews with all four of them initially.
It was noted that Björn, so heavily involved in the pre-show promotion, took a back seat and let Agnetha and Frida do a lot more of the talking.
At one point, they broke free from the red carpet to stand for photos in front of the crowds of fans. Benny even signed something for a fan in the crowd.
Celebs appearing (in no particular order):
