Not sure how you are going to glue that tape back to the ceiling. Normally it has a light tack and is held in place by the plaster which covers it completely. Hard to say what's going to happen when you touch it.
My approach would probably be cut it out with a sharp blade and fill/skim with toupret interior filler, sand and paint the patch. If the paint is more than a few years old it will show even if you have some of the old paint left over.

Thanks, good to know. I wasn’t expecting to be able to stick it back, but wondered if there was something that could go over the top to “repair” it and cover up the edge.
This is what I’d initially found but wasn’t sure if that would do!
Paint is 12 weeks old, hence why I wasn’t keen on redoing the whole wall of all the tape had to come off…

Plasterboard question: can you get (skim?) a quick repair on pealing finishing tape? Or is it a case of taking it all off and replacing?
During the heat the finishing tape in the corner of one room (that’s recently been painted 🤦♂️) started coming a way from the walls. I’m assuming it’s all cosmetic (no signed of damp etc) but it just looks ugly.
I’d rather not have to repaint the whole wall again if the whole tape needs redoing, nor does it seem worthwhile to get someone out for such a small job if it’s easy to get it “good enough” oneself. Photo makes it look worse than it looks IRL, and it’s about a 20cm area
