How should I repair this?
There is no water damage or anything. I think because of a small truss uplift issue I have in the room beside this, it was putting stress on this drywall joint.
So how would I go about fixing this so that it looks as close to the rest of the ceiling as possible?
Thanks!

The easiest thing would be to leave it as most probably won't even notice 
To repair you need to fill the depression in with joint compound, sand, retexture, prime and paint.... or is that tape that is pooched up?? If that is the case you'd need to cut out the failing tape, retape, add mud as needed, sand, texture, prime and paint.

Thanks! Sounds like I'll have to cut it out.
I'm getting ready to put our house up for sale in the late winter/early spring.
Thanks for your help! What would be the best way to try and recreate the rosebud texture? I don't have a brush

Just to be clear, you only have to cut out the loose tape, the drywall is ok.
Thin the j/c down a little with water and either apply it with the brush or smear some mud on the ceiling and then texture it with the brush.
