In 2017, she co-created the group Black Dresses with fellow Canadian Ada Rook. Their work received positive reviews in indie music circles,^[2]^[3] including appearing on Vice's "The 22 Best Albums You May Have Missed in 2019".^[4] The duo announced they were breaking up in May 2020 after one of their tracks regarding McCallion's experiences with childhood sexual assault became popular on TikTok, leading to "extended harassment" after McCallion tried to have them removed.^[5]^[6]

McCallion's pony OC. Illustrated by Ala Flora, who also produced the cover art for all of McCallion's pony-themed albums.

McCallion's pony OC (ostensibly named Cats Millionaire) is a light brown earth pony mare with a messy, dark brown mane and tail and glasses. She is frequently depicted smoking a cigarette and looking disinterested.

The cover art for 3, the third collection of music released under the pseudonym "Mom", depicts Cats Millionaire attached to a leg shackle.
