It is called expansion and contraction. Hairline cracks happen in the tape joints between two or more pieces of drywall board. More common in a vaulted ceiling with sissor trusses. It is not a structural issue in any case. If it's a visual bother, have it retaped with fiberglass tape and refinished through texture for the strongest bond.
