My bet is it could be foundation shift. I'm on black clay....mud in the winter (soil expands), rock in the summer (soil contracts). It seems, like happens to me after 42 years, as the foundation moves around the outer walls, supporting the free span (in some areas but not in others affected like this) trusses move at one rate and the piers supporting interior walls move at another. As a result, every season it opens and closes the cracks in the sheetrock and ceiling attachment devices open and close. I used to crawl under the house simi-annually and adjust. Too old for that now, just watch 'em open and close.
I agree that it should be sealed, being in the shower.
I also have a good deal of insulation in the attic weighing on the rock and in the free span areas I have had to re-attach the sheetrock to the trusses as it has started sagging gapping off the trusses as much as an inch is some areas. I use 2" sheetrock screws and 2" flat washers. Work a section tightening the screws a little at a time till I get it back up against the trusses.....distributing the weight across a larger area than just one screw as I go.
