She will talk about her music likes and her favorite classical and even pop musician.


What does 'likes' mean in the above?
What words can it be replaced with?

Thanks.

It means she will be talking about the music she likes, or in other words, music that she is fond of. To me, the sentence is worded awkwardly, though. I would say: She will talk about her musical likes, including her favorite classical, and even pop musicians.
