You were shooting at 50mm so 1/125 would have been better, your first shot was 1/60 and you need to allow for your crop factor of 1.5 which means you were shooting at 35mm equivalent of 75mm, to get a sharp shot for a newb you need to have a shutter speed at or above your focal length 1/80+

Well maybe. We don't know her AP. The crop factor has nothing to do with anything. It's all about the link between APs and ISOs and shutter.
But yes, her shutter, would have had to be around 80 or so, with a 50.

To be honest I don't remember what I had set the AP to. So is the shutter ALWAYS suppose to be higher than the focal length of the lens?

No not with practise i shoot way below focal length without IS
