According to a new report, most of her nearly 280 backup dancers had no idea she was even pregnant, either.

Sources tell TMZ that she wore “baggy clothing” during all of the rehearsals, including the run-throughs on both Saturday (February 12) and game day.

“It wasn’t until showtime that anyone involved saw her final costume, which seemed designed to show off her belly,” they reported.
